A time arrives when the will is killed absolutely and literally, and at this period you might, with as much reason, tell a man to will not to die under a mortal disease as to resist the call that his whole being makes, in spite of him, for the pabulum on which it has so long been depending for carrying on its work.
I'm hunting up the longest words I can find and learning their definitions, so that I can use them properly." Rob, looking over her shoulder, laughed to see the list she had chosen: "Indefatigability, Juxtaposition, Loquaciousness, Pabulum, Peregrinate, Longevous."
With diminished capacity the blood vessels fail to convey the requisite nutrition to the tissues, and a general lowering of the vitality follows. The capillaries no longer supply the skin with its needed pabulum, hence it loses its elasticity and color grows yellow and forms in furrows.
To many people in his station the Bible, and perhaps Burns, are the only books of any vital literary merit that they read, feeding themselves, for the rest, on the draff of country newspapers, and the very instructive but not very palatable pabulum of some cheap educational series.

Of this fault, I say, Godfrey was not guilty more, however, I must confess, from healthful drawings in other directions, than from philosophy or wisdom: he was a reader not in the sense of a man who derives intensest pleasure from the absorption of intellectual pabulum one not necessarily so superior as some imagine to the gourmet, or even the gourmand: in his reading Godfrey nourished certain of the higher tendencies of his nature read with a constant reference to his own views of life, and the confirmation, change, or enlargement of his theories of the same; but neither did he read with the highest aim of all the enlargement of reverence, obedience, and faith; for he had never turned his face full in the direction of infinite growth the primal end of a man's being, who is that he may return to the Father, gathering his truth as he goes.

Other physicians, beside myself, can vouch that the presence of some persons affected her as a pabulum vitae, while, if left with certain others or alone, she was sure to grow weaker.
It argues that the taste for the legitimate, the sane in literature, has not yet been drowned in the septic sea of fin de siecle slop that, despite the enervating influence of an all- pervasive sensationalism, or sybaritism, there be still minds capable of relishing the rugged, strong enough to digest the mental pabulum furnished by a really masculine writer.
He was incapable of meanness; he never wilfully entrapped a friend, or even an enemy, into a disastrous speculation; only, if the venture proved unsuccessful, he happened to get out and leave the others in it. But in financial speculations, as in battles, there must be what is called "food for powder;" and if one be too solicitous about this worthless pabulum, nothing great can be accomplished.
By 1905 there were two Yiddish and three Hebrew dailies, besides several weekly, monthly, and quarterly periodicals and annuals in Yiddish, Hebrew, and Russian, notwithstanding the fact that a numerous class depended on the general Russian literary output for their mental pabulum.
