The FACULTY OF FEIGNNa DEATH.

HE FACULTY OF FEIGNING DEATH.
There are cases on record of persons
who could spontaneously fall into death
trance. Mont, in q letter TO- Halter,
mentions several. A priest of tho
name Of Caelious Rhodaginus, had the
same faculty. But the most celebrated
instance is that of Colonel Townsend,
mentioned in the surgical works Of
Gooch, by whom, and BY DR.. Cheyne
and DR.. Beynard, and by DR.. Shrine,
an apothecary, the performance of Col.
Townsend was seen attested. They
had long attended him, for he vas .
habitual invalid and he had often in
vited them to witness the phenomenon
of his dying and coming to life again,
but they had hitherto refused, from
fears Of the consequence to himself.L
accordingly. in their presence, Col.
Townsend laid himself down on his
back, and DR.. Cheyne undertook to Oh.
serve his pulse; DR.. Reynard laid hia
hand on his heart, and Mr.. Shrine had
a looking glass to hold to his mouth.
After a few seconds, pulse, breathing,
and the action Of the heart were no
longer to be observed. Each of the
witnesses satisfied himself Of the entire
cessation of these phenomena. When
the death trance had lasted half an
hour, the doctors began to fear that
their patient had pushed the experiment
too far, and was dead in earnest, and
they were preparing to leave the house,
when slight movement Of the body
attracted their attention. They renew
ed their. routine of observation, when
the pulse and sensible motion Of tho
heart gradually returned, and breathing
md consciousness. The sequel of the
ale is strange-Col. Townsend, on re-
covering, sent for his attorney, made
lis will, and died. for good and Il,
tx hours afterwards.
