Reynolds, John, of Kings-Norton

Title

A discourse upon prodigious abstinence: occasioned by the twelve moneths fasting of Martha Taylor, the famed Derbyshire damosell: proving that without any miracle, the texture of humane bodies may be so altered, that life may be long continued without the supplies of mea & drink. With an account of the heart, and how far it is interessed in the business of fermentation. / By John Reynolds. Humbly offered to the Royall Society.
