himself, the efficacy of the practice, nom attended at tSe
request of Sic A.stley Cooper. to repeat the experiment of
emptying the stomach by mechanical means. Mr. Joke*
chose to he himself the sobject of the experiment, and MO
so sanguine of the success of the operation, the', he wool 4
have swallowed a large quantity of laudanum, hal not the
entreaties of his friends iodoced him to sobatitatea sohmiont
