Nothing pesters the body and mind sooner than to be still fed, to eat and ingurgitate beyond all measure, as many do. From Wordnik.com. [Anatomy of Melancholy] Reference
Our wiser caupones, I am told, know how to fatten their fowls, as well as their geese, for the London markets, by mixing gin instead of figs and fat with their food; by which they are said to become sleepy, and to fatten apace, and probably acquire enlarged livers; as the swine are asserted to do, which are fed on the sediments of barrels in the distilleries; and which so frequently obtains in those, who ingurgitate much ale, or wine, or drams.
