EDITORS COMMENTS
Dr. Tanner Fasting, 1880: An Extraordinary Scientific Experiment This photograph captures Dr. Henry Tanner of New York City during his groundbreaking forty-day fasting experiment in 1880. Dr. Tanner, a renowned physician and scientist, embarked on this radical endeavor to explore the effects of prolonged fasting on the human body. The image shows Dr. Tanner in a calm and focused state, seated in a comfortable chair, with a pulse watch strapped to his wrist. His eyes are closed, and his hands are resting on a small table, where a glass of water and a few lemons are placed. The absence of food and the minimalist setting underscore the significance of his undertaking. Dr. Tanner's experiment was not driven by religious or moral motivations but rather by a genuine scientific curiosity. He meticulously documented his vital signs, including his pulse rate, temperature, and weight, throughout the forty days. His findings contributed to the growing body of knowledge on the physiological and metabolic responses to fasting, paving the way for future research in the field of nutrition and health. The photograph serves as a testament to Dr. Tanner's dedication and courage, as well as the spirit of scientific inquiry that characterized the late 19th century. It is a poignant reminder of the lengths scientists have gone to expand our understanding of the human body and its capabilities.
