The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1874-09-19

For The past day or two, says the Prov-
dGncc JourRdt there has been IN this city
c0lOrcd man who presents in himself queer
physiological! freak. lie Is "a wears of age
thick set Of medium height OF fair intcill
gcncc, and was born in Manchester, England
lie gains his livelihood by exhibiting him
self to physicians. His abdomen is naturally
full, but ut will, without the use of his hands
he gives 1t wave.like motion, and it gradu,
ally sinks in as If being wound up, until it
apparently rests close against the backbone,
and he presents the appearance of a man
with no abdomen, and then, IN the same man
ncr he rolls it out TO its original form. He
then drops from under his ribs a duplicate
set of RIBS, with breast bone, when the or.
iginal ribs and the duplicates can be distinct
~ felt and counted, ana the whole front OF
the body is, as il were, iron-clad. Or, at
will, he apparently drops his head from its
natural position some twelve inches, puts it
back, and sends it to the right side of the
body, opposite lis natural position, puts ii
back and sends it to the lower part of the
body on the right side thus putting it in four
different positions. During these changes
the two sounds Of the heart can be distinctly
heard in either of these new positions and
not where they are usually heard. 1t seems
to be necessary, however that after each
change it should go back whose it belongs
before being sent to new quarter. He also
has the power to stop the beating of his heart
at will, from five to ten seconds at time, the
pulse stopping at the same time. He seems
also to have considerable strength, easily
bending by blow on the arm, heavy iron
cane which he carries Several OF our promi-
nent physicians have examined him, from
one of whom we have obtained these facts,
and pronounce him to be the greatest curiosi
.ty IN physiology they have ever seen or
heard of.
