16.1110 ER THEAuctir—now IT FEELf4 The peculiar charms of human vivisEetion sire vividly portrayed by "Doesticks" (Morti mer Thompson) 'in the December No. of "lours at Home. After explaining , how in case the use of anesthetics was avoided lest' 'blood should be let into the trachea unper , ceived, Mr. Thompson proceeds::: • My surgeon prepares to 'commence the en lertainment. Baring my chest, he places me lying down at full ,length on my back on a sofa, with divers basins and buckets handy to receive my heart's blood, and with various ,sp . l? ) ;,boWlif Of Water, and towels near to wipe up the spitteied gore. • • The assistant my- jocose old collegio.friend, now, by, way of a ghastly joke, heats the poker red hot • and rionrishes it before, my, myes, . pleasantly • assuring with a sweet smile of anticipation, that, mia'case we sever a large blood-vessel, the ac tiagenuterrj IS much safer than the ligature,"— mea'ning thereby, as I will explain for the en lightenment of non.:profesSional -readers, that, in case they Make a bungle of it, and cut a big arteryaCross, they propose to sear the end of it with-a red-hot iron, instead •f trying it up , :with , ti. string. This amiable assistant also takes' off "his coat and his false wrist-bands, and mOes a great show of rolling his shirt-sleeves up to his shoulders, as if he were going te, .hutel* an ox. My surgeon-in-chief, however; contents himself with merely turning back his -cuffs and pinning a long towel before his im inaeulate shirt-front. AM] now these two, the one armed with a Scalpel, and the other eqbipped with a small sponge, approach me. 1 lie with my teeth shut and my eyes nearly closed, while the scalpel man addresses to me a few reassuring words, such as "mighty ticklish place to cut, here under the ann," and "keep steady, now, old felloW, or I may hit the axillary artery, and then yen know as well as I do what would tapped." But, at, last, blandly smiling, the surgeon poises his knife daintily between his delicate fingers, and thumb, and with a grace ful flourish, but with also a true and steady hand,.he makes the first incision. Involuntarily my teeth shut as if the jaws would crush each other; my eyelids close, as if to shut 'Out the world forever; my hands clibch into fists, which are not like lists so much as: bony ,cannon-balls; great drops of sweat burst through my skin, and, a violent and iriestrainable shudder runs through my whole body, from head to heel ; but I make no noise. The Sensation 'is not at all what I expected.. It is not in the least like a tremendous' exag geration of an ordinary slight cut with a pen knife; it it more as if a flat piece of red-hot metal, as big as my two outspread hands, had been suddenly applied to the skin, and then instantly taken off," for, - strange to say, ,after the first burning sensation had passed, them is no remaining smart, or sting, or ache. I open my eyes, but all I can see is the joyous assistant sopping blood out of a long, deep, ghastly cut in my side, with a sponge, while the scalpel man has his knife poised, ready for another "rip." • Ishut myeyes again, but presently open, them once more to see what they are about, as I feel no more hot irons. I see the doctor still blandly smiling, and at the same time apparently excavating deep down in my side with some sort of a glittering instrument which he clasps in his bloody hand. Now there is a sensa tion as if the knife were cutting through a bit of India-rubber; I feel no pain, but things begin most unaccountably to swim before my eyes ; the room spins round; and I see a thin strip of bright scarlet ribbon suddenly jump from my side underneath the surgeon's hand, and hit the assistant in the left eye. I have scarcely taken note of this whenl go to sleep. lam soon awakened, however„ by an unexpected shower-bath, and 1 struggle ,slowly back to consciousness, feeling a horrible nausea, and a feeling as of four sea-sicknesses bonded into one,. I slowly open my eyes, and perceive the assistant still swabbing my side with his sPonge, but with a red splash all over his eye, and a large drop of blood hanging to the end of his nose, like a ruby, The surgeon is talking, and I learn that he found it necessary to cut rather a large arterial twig, and that the red ribbon I saw was a jet of arterial blood which had indeed hit the assistant in the eye and trickled down his nose ; instead of going to sleep, I had fainted, and the showerbath was half a tumbler of ice-water. Inow resume my watch of the doctor with a sort of a lazy curiosity, as if the patient is somebody else, and the whole affair doesn't concern me much anyhow. I watch the sponge taking up the oozing blood, while the keen knife, with rapid, skilful touches, follows • closely in its wake; yet, though every touch of the blade makes its gash; more or less deep, strange to say, I feel no pang of pain ; I only.. experience a sensation as if ' somebody was gently drawinn . ° blunt pencil ,along my skin, instead. of rapidly , cutting through my bleeding flesh. The doctor continues rapidly deepening the gash, which was made from four to five inches long and two or three inches deep at the very first cut of his scalpel. As he cuts, he continues his clinical lecture, and explains why I feel so little pain.. Ile says that " the nerves of sensation are most closely distributed all over the surface of the body; and that, therefore; the skin is the most sensitive part ; in cases like this, when once the skin is cut through, the patient feels little pain front the, deeper cuts of the knife; this is one reason why a good surgeon always snakes a long slash, or a 'free incision,' at the very first touch of his in strument, that the pain may be, as much as possible, over at' once, and that there may be no necessity for any after hacking and hag gling; a clean cut heals very kindly, and an inch or two of it, more or less, is generally of not much matter. Once get through the outer envelope of the body, and the patient, while you are cutting the subjacent tissues, feels little or no pain, except when—" What! What!! WHAT!!! 18 TII1S? A sensation as if a gallon of melted lead bad been poured into my wound, and in stantly permeated every artery and vein in all my body ; as if I were out naked in a rain of boiling liquid caustic ; as if 1 were in a shower bath of melted brass: as if boiling pitch had been dashed upon my quivering skin, and were being peeled oil; bringing with it each and every hair from all my body; as if a million of fine cambric needles at a white heat had now been inserted to till up the places where the hairs came out; as if 1 were stung by a million bees at once ; as if every drop of blood left in me bad been suddenly transformed into an aching tooth— then as if all these teeth were drawn simulta .neously, and the hollows tilled with melted bold; as if I bad been turned inside out, as lunchausen served the wolf, and then flung on a hot sand-heap; as if I had been flayed alive, and then sent to wade up. Vesuvius knee deep in liquid lava, and in a shower of red-hot cinders, without boots on, and with no umbrella; as if all my nails had been dragged off with blacksmith's pincers, and my finger tips dipped in liquid sealing-wax ;•as if— Well, if you have ever enjoyed the luxury of having a dentist file a tooth with "a nerve exposed," and if you will Imagine that delightful sensa tion multiplied by twenty-two. housand and eleven, and then complicated ivith neuralgia, tic doulourenNt, and cramps iu the stomach, you may be able to get the ghost of a shadow of a faint approach to a remote comprehension of what I suffered in this one agonizing in stant. ' I again say "instant," for, though it leaves each fleshly particle of my body quivering with a sensation near akin to that feeling common ly knoWn asliaving the "teeth set on an edge," the Intense acuteness of the pain lasts but an instantno mortal could endure it longer and remain conscious; in fact, fleeting as it, is,,i am only Saved from a second - faint by another IfinielYtlasb of Ice-water. ~',.- '. And what has happened is only one of those exceptioias" of which the' doctor is about to speak, when the glass of water becomes neces-: sary ocalpel hithseteltd a nerve. Though this exquisitely sensitive ,:remote off-shoot of the brain itself,, , Is . probal lir . net larger thank elender silken ' thread, the ceel" parlsons aboVe written cane convey; but:feebly an idea of the sickiining.,..PaitioecaelOned by, the tutting of the nerve-libre. The surgeon continues his lecture, and pauses occasionally, that I may fully under stand. He says, addressing the gleeful as sistant, "You observe the effect of , cuttingli nerve, and" (to me) "you know how good it feels. There is a very foolish notion, common with many people, that in surgical operations where it is necessary to cut through bones the extreme of agony is reached when the instru ment touches the marrow ; there are few popular fallacies, more absurd or ill-founded. The marrow, so far from being 'brain matter like , the -nerves, and therefore possessed of the most exquisite sensitive ness, is simply, for the most part, a mass resembling fat or blubber, 'with a few in/ sensitive blood-vessels permeating it. It hie, of course, its uses in the physical economy, but it is a structure no more sensitive than the toe-nails. If there were no more positive suf fering involved in the amputation of an arm or a leg than is felt in sawing through the marrow, we should have little need of anaes thetics in such cases. : AA this time the knife is doing its work— cutting, deftly and delicately along, till the hottpm of the necessary wound is reached. All dangerous blood-vessels are now se cured—they are tied, and the threads of silk arranged so that in case of "secondary hemmorrhage"—that is, if any one of them should recommence bleeding—it could at once be foimd, and the flow of blood be stopped either by well-known styptics, or, if necessary, by a second ligation of the bleeding vessel. But whenever another nerve is cut, even one of the - infinitesimal twigs dis tribided - through the skin, there comes a renewal of the former pain. More than once does the friendly dash of water recall me from the realms of unconsciousness, even when I am a good ways more than half way over the border. There is a- Curious phenomenon which I now .observe for the first time—it is that a sudden twingoof pain will start perspiration through my skin. instantaneously in great beads; it does not ooze, through insensibly, but. I can feel it burst thrOugh like the drops of water • throligh the rose of a wateringvt; This is especially the case with my head;. Abe perspiration comes through my scalp in 'lidge rapid drops, as if there were a heavy shower somewhere inside of me, and the rain was falling up instead of down. To such an extent does this continue, that my hair is soon dripping, my neck-tie- soaked, and my shirt-collar as limp as if starch were unknown in the land. And now all the, cutting is done:; the chief surgeon retires from the field and leaves the dressing of the wound to the gleeful assistant, who grins with antieipa-* tive joys. As the lint is stuffed into the cut, I sutler not the slightest pain from that por tion which is thrust to, the very bottom of the deepl.pgitsbed - hole; though the assistant takes vindictive delight injamming it down,as if I were a t*entyfour-pound cannon, and he was load ing me for saluting purposes. Itiis only when the wadding with which I am being loaded comes in direct contact with the cut edges of the skin that I feel any pain. I wouldn't have believed that lint, or any other material,• jammed against the raw edges of a%leeding wound could fail to give pain; but such is the fact; 1 state the truth as I feel it, or rather as I don't feel it. The deep seated nerve that some time since gave me so much trouble, must have retracted into the soft tissues, for the rammed-down lint does not come in contact with it; if it did, I should pro bably hear from it. The assistant has had no chance to frizzle me win] his red-hot poker, and hp growls discon tentedly ; he recovers his spirits some what, however, as he informs me , that Pli have to "inject tincture of iodine into , that, hole twice a (lay for a month," and that it will "burn like fire." So saying, he ruts his hands with glee, and pre pares the strips of diachylon plaster with which to close the wound ; he heats them at the candle till the was on the surface boils up in little bubbles, and then he slaps them on my naked skin, where they instantaneously raise huge blisters: My right arm being disabled, I cannot bit him • having on carpet slippers, kicking is inellecive, if not impracticable ; but I bide my time. s Cornelius! assistant! beware the day of con valescence. Although, to our severer taste, the feasts of the middle ages may Seein barbaric in their ex travagance and nowhere was this carried to greater lengths thanan the wealthy states of Italy), still the almost Meaore simplicity of modern times makes it i nteresting to look back upon those splendid entertainments, described with so:much gusto by contemporary Italian chroniclers. Ilow far the heavily-burdened taxpayers of the day relished the magnificence ith which their princely and drical rulers cele brated their victories, or welcothed their illus trious visitors, w e need notinquiie ; they pro bably,like our French friends each successive 15th August, admired the show, and grumbled at the bill. Leaving also to political economists to decide, if they can, how far the profusion of a conit is advantageous to the prosperity of a nation, or the reverse, let us transfer ourselves in imagination to the weddin g banquet of the Lady Violante of Milan, 1368 A. D. Early in the month of May of that year, Lionel, Duke of Claience, second son of .Ed ward 111. of England, entered the fair city of Milan as the affianced of yolante Visconti, attended l y her lather, Gideon.° Visconti, who slimed with his brothers, Mateo and Benartio,, the sow!' eignty of that opulent pro Vince. All tla, Milanese nobles, knights and ladies es corted Visconti and his guest, attired in mag nificent esse4, designed expressly for the oc casion; and a brilliantly equipped three of two thousand' English horsemen and archers tot wed the Duke of Clarence's contribution to the splendor- of the procession. From that time until the 15th of June, when the marriage ceremony was petformed by the Bishop of No vat a, in tin Church, of Sr. Maria Maggiore, the English and this prince were entertained with the pi ofitse loispitality of the age, which in the evening, after the solemnization of the mar riage, culminated. in the fi'ast, of Which we will endeaviir to give a description.' The banqueting tables were:arranged in the open court before the palace of the Visconti, in the Piazza dell' Arenga. Among the guests admitted to the private table of the bride and bridegroom were the Count of , Savoy, the Bishop of Novara, and the illustrious poet, Francis Petrarch, then in the zenith of his hone. At another table a hundred of the most beautiful ladies of the court displayed their gorgeous toilets, studded with pearls and other , precious stones, their extravagant use of which is a frequent subject of censure with the con- I temporary historians. The "breakfast," if we may ,so call it, con sisted of eighteen different courses, ushered in with the utmost pomp, and aaompanied by appropriate presents for the newly-married pair. The first course, as a mark of peculiar honor; was served up iirduplioate- to the -bride groom's table, arid was composed; among other dishes, of two small pOrklings entirely gilded, with lire in their mouths; and small gilt hsh called porcelletti. As presents, two of the choicest greyhounds which could be procured, with ..their appropriate trappings, were led round and exhibited to the company:o The second course eon silted of gilded bares and pike; with 7 4 P HE - DAILY' NVENII'4O-BULLETIN=rttir.

The eighth entry, pastry, beef, and huge eel -pies, with tWelye more suits of war-armer. The ninth &Anse and its successor were more moderate, consistingof meat and fish; Jellies amid lam preys; with gold coins, gold cloths, silver basins, and flasks filled with Malmsey and Vernaccia wines, as presents. The eleventh course of this never-ending banquet was of kids, accompanied by six_ horses, with saddles, lanees, targets and helmets in like number. The' twelfth, hares and other game, 'with six large coursers, with saddles and golden trappings. The thir teenth service, venison and beef; with six war horses, with gilded bridles, bits and full heral dic trappings and housings. The fourteenth, fowls, capons, &c., dressed in colored sauces, with citron; and six, light joustin,..crs coursers, with gilded bridles, red yelvet cloths and halt ers. The fifteenth, peacock's tongues, more carp, of which the Italians and French were particuliarly fond, vegetables and fruit ; as . presents, a ducal hood, mantel and lower robe, covered with pearls, and lined with ermine. The sixteenth, rabbits, peacocks, ducks, &c.; and a huge silver basin, containing one large ruby, one large diamond, a large pearl, and some other choice specimens of precious stones. The seventeenth course was rural and pastoral in comparison, being cheese Parmesan, even then famous among epicures,°and other products of the dairy;with the very appropriate present 'of twelve fat cows. For the eighteenth course—fruits, sweatmeats, and various wines —was reserved the most costly present., Two splendid chargers—one called the Lion, the other the Abbot—were presented to the Duke of Clarence by his princely fhther-in-law ; and seventy-seven similar steeds for his principal knights and barons. The bridegroom'slable.at this unconscionable feast, which must have lasted for many hours, was served by twelve principal knights of the duchy; pages or lower rank, but all of gentle* blood; attending on 'the other tables, and taking charge of the various .
