The Taieri fasting girl - Miss ROSS -
the latest account of the Taieri fasting girl is that she continues
very much in the same condition she has been in for the past 3
years. She never feels
hungry or has any desire for food,
and when she does take a mouthful of tea or a crumb of biscuit it
produces a feeling of faintness. The same
gnawing pain in the
chest continues. He countenance remains its healthy
appearance, and her manner is cheerful as ever. She
however
only
speaks in a whisper, and says she is getting gradually
weaker. The Bruce heralds reporter says that although it was 2
years ago since he
previously saw Miss Ross, he could scarcely
detect any change as having occurred in her condition or appearance.
