Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER XIII
47/104

Morgan describes a boy of thirteen who was feeding a donkey which suddenly made a snap at him, unfortunately catching him by the trousers and including the penis in one of the folds.

By the violence of the bite the boy was thrown to the ground, and his entire prepuce was stripped off to the root as if it had been done by a knife.

There was little hemorrhage, and the prepuce was found in the trousers, looking exactly like the finger of a glove.

Morgan stated that this was the third case of the kind of which he had knowledge.

Bookey records a case in which an artilleryman was seized by the penis by an infuriated horse, and the two crura were pulled out entire.
Amputation of the penis is not always followed by loss of the sexual power and instinct, but sometimes has the mental effect of temporarily increasing the desire.
