covery made Mons. RrnrcU suspect that this
state of inScnsibility might be rs perfect as that
obtained by ancstllct!c agents. lie determined
10 make experiments with il, and found that
the state Of i,iScrsihility produced was as per.

these eases n IMAM underwent Il surgical opera

tant incisiun. The ilScnsibility lasted ten or
twelve minutes after the operation. The pa
