TAUNTON.—About the beginning of. the present
year, Phenis Adams, a private in the first Somerset
applied for surgical aid in consequence et art
ulcerated wound in his arm. On examination it ap-
peared that the ulcer was occasioned by his own
contrivance, and that consequently he would be dis-
charged ;he deeerted from hisireginient. thon'his
apprehension, he was committed to the gaol at Wil-
ton,. where he was eattended by a medical .gentle-
man, in: consequence of a wound. which he then. ex-
hibited on his leg, which there is touch reason...to
suppose waseirtitieally produced. On the 24th of
Aerillast, he fell down a flight of steps, one was
token up with the blood oozing from his ears. Be-
ing conyeyee to bed, he appeared to hate 03 frwei.l
no material injury but, in a 41y or two.aftewards
lie.obsete ed to to medical gentlemen hoe'itiended
him, that he thought he was.getepg deaf. Believ-
ieg this- to be new stratagem to accomplish his
purpose, the medical gentleman asked'him it a low
wee of, voice, " Are you deaf'?" To which the man
replied, " Yes, very deaf." Intimation was then
given trim that his object was understood, and would
of,course be deleated. „ Immediately after this,
Adams fell into a stale of profound insensibility, and,
has so, renteineddown to the present period—a space
of nearly three months. From that hate. the suste-
nance he received has been very slight, consisting en-
tirely of tea, broths, and .occasionally df small por-
'tions of bread and butter. On ,the 24th of , April
the accident. happened ; on the, 25th his pulse was
very hard, and.indicated inflammation of the brain,
upon which he was bled, and the 'symptoms' abated.
The following day,.in consequence of - hi* pulse-in-
creasing, he was again bled e from which period he
has remained in hie: present slate. His head and
back .have, been blisiered, without producing any
sensible effect; and. strong eleCtrical shocks have
produceel no bodily, sensation. His pulse is -gene:-`
raay-regular, but wants tone. The pupil of his eye
is in a alight .degree dilated, and his respiration is
easy nor has it been much interrupted from the
commencement. Every inede of arousing' him froth
eheeinsensible state hi which he lies:hes entirely
tailed. Snuff has been thrust up his nosttils, and
:pungeht salts applied, neither of which have pro-
duced any other etre& than that of a secretion from
his eyes. ‘Oll. Sunday,. the 14th, it way dettreinned.
to try on him the nitroue oxyct, gas; the operation
of wbtch Ithown to occasion -so extraordinary a
elegeee of mental, and bodily -excitation. The tube
':ettixed to the bladder, containing the gas, was a;,-
plied to the man's .month but his ,teeth were so
firmly closed, that all efforti to open them proved
fruitless: Hia nostrils and lips were thetteompress-
ed, and every , threses taken too present his inhaling.
• any air but the gaeeous floid. This attempt was
persevered in Until" his peke became-. interrupted,
evidently from his deaistieg to breathe, andel()
le6t in consequence resulted from the experiment.:—
The main now remains in the eame.state of 'eta' in-
sensibility.
