_Ringelbergius--Drinking to Excess._--Ringelbergius, in the notes to his
treatise _De Ratione Studii_, speaking of great drinkers, has this
passage:
"Eos qui magnos crateras haustu uno siccare possunt, qui sic
crassum illud et porosum corpus vino implent, ut per cutem humor
erumpat (nam tum se satis inquiunt potasse, cùm, positis quinque
super mensam digitis, _quod ipse aliquando vidi_, totidem guttæ
excidunt) laudant; hos viros esse et homines dicunt."
He says that he himself _has seen this_. Does any reader of the "NOTES
AND QUERIES" know of _any other author_ who says that he _has seen_ such
an exhibition? Or can Ringelbergius's assertion be confirmed from any
source?
