4 Remarkable Wound.

An instance of singular tolerance of 4
severe wound of the brain was recently
communicated by NJ. Dubrisay Ia the
Societie de Medicine de Paris. \ man.
aged ~forty-four. in an attempt at suicide,
sent a small dagger through his skull in
10 the brain. The weapon was ten CEN
timeterS long and one wide. He had
held the dagger in his left hand and Civ
en- il with his right several blows with
the mallet. believing that he would fall
dead AT the first blow. To his profound
surprise he felt no pain and observed no
particular phenomenon. He struck the
dagger in all about a dozen times. The
man was a drunkard. but was sober at
the moment Of the attempt. When seen
about two hours later the handle of the
dagger WAS projecting from the skull at
the junction of the posterior, and middle
third. a little 10 the right If the middle
line. and in a transverse position. The
whole blade was imbedded. except 4
part one ccntimcter in length. For half
an hour unsuccessful attempts We're
made To get the dagger out. The pa
tient was placed on the ground. two Wig
ororls persons fixed his shoulders. and
aided by a strong pair of carpenters
pincers. repeated attempts were made,
but without success. The patient and
assistants were raised off the ground.
but the dagger was immovable. These
attempts caused no pain. More power
full mechanical instruments We're then
employed. The patient. who walked
well. and complained of no headache.
was taken TO a coppersmith'S. and by
strong pincers. the handle of the dagger
was fastened TO a chain which was
passed over a cylinder turned by steam
power. The pincers. used for drawing
out tubes of copper. were so made that
the more they were pulled the tighter
they grasped. The man was then fas-
tened TO rings fixed in the ground. and
the cylinder was gently set in motion.
At the second turn the dagger came
out, The blade measured ten centime-
tiers IN length, of which nine had entered
the interior Of the skull. The patient.
who had submitted with the greatest
