The Woman That Lives Without Eating

Andrew D Milne

Published in 1874, this book recounts the fascinating and controversial story of a woman named Mrs. Simeon Hays, who claimed not to have eaten any food for over a decade. Drawing on interviews with Hays and her family, as well as newspaper articles and scientific reports, it explores the physical and psychological implications of Hays's condition, and the various theories that attempted to explain it.
