The Central Nevndan contains an &C.
count OF Il man in that town who tried
to commit. suicide by driving a ten
penny nail into his bend. The attempt
vas succe ssiul rs fur rs driving the nail
was concerned, uut death failed to en-
sue, md Il arrangement Of the mind
WINS the only result. For ten days he
was about town in u drunken condition
when he was placed in Jail to sober up,
and MS he did not recover his mind Dr..
Pope held I'M examination when 1t was
first found that he had attempted to
take his life III this singular manner.
1t is one OF the most wonderful things
recorded in medical annals.
The nail was driven through the scalp
ard skull in the middle line o: the head
five inches back OF the base Of the nose.
After passing through the skull it went
between the two hemispheres OF the
brain to the bottom Of what is known to
auatomists rs the great Longitudinal
tissure which separates the halves Of The
brain.
The nail not being clean the germs Of
inflammation were carried i'll and excited
inflammation along the tract of the nail
Had the nail been driven into the BRAN
substance either side OF the middle line
Of the head, the result might have been
quite different. for II Of the vital GEN.
ters might have been struck, death
quickly resulting.
Tho operation performed by DR.. Pope
was the removal OF the nail md trephin-
lug out u button OF bone with a trephine
which is a simple cylindrical saw with
handle placed transversely like tlint Of Il
gimlet. This permitted free drainage
from the wound within the skull into
which Il rubber tube was placed to keep
the matter flowing out.
1t Is said that he made Il vain attempt
on one other occasion to drive a nail in
his head, but he made n poor job Of il,
and everything was taken from him by
which he could iriure himself in any
way. He says that hr procured the
Ratchet from the Nevada saloon, stating
that he secured il himself. He sharpen.
ed the nail down to a tino point so TINT
he would have no difficulty in driving
the nail in his head easy.
He was taken to Il room in the Nevada
hotel where the DR.. performed the oper-
alton and Brockson iR said to be getting
along rs well rs can be expected, and
since the operation his temperature has
been normal. II he should recover from
the operation, which in all probability
he will, he will be committed to the asy-
lum.
