The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Oct. 27. We hear from Waterbury, that a woman of that town, who was in the eighth or ninth month of her pregnancy, was taken with a most violent longing, to eat the flesh from her husband's arms: he indulged her in making several attempts, but her teeth were not sufficient for that purpose; and her unaccountable longing continued until her delivery, which was about three weeks ago: The infant refusing the breast, or any sustenance usually given to infants, it was offered the raw flesh of a fowl cut fine, and dipped in the fowl's blood, on which it has fed heartily every day since its birth, and is the only food the child has taken till a few days since, when it ate a little milk mixed with blood.
