J. D., aged 70, was admitted on May 17, under the care of Mr. Liston. He came into the hospital at ten, A.1%1., on account of a slight transverse wound of the throat, which he had made with the intention of destroying himself. He assigned as a reason for this proceeding, that he had not passed any water since the 14th, although several attempts had been made to pass the catheter by a surgeon.
