This patient made a good recovery at the hospital.

Alexeef, another Russian, speaks of a similar injury occurring during an attack of delirium tremens.
Black details the history of a young man of nineteen who went to his bath-room and deliberately placing his scrotum on the edge of the tub he cut it crossways down to the wood.

He besought Black to remove his testicle, and as the spermatic cord was cut and much injured, and hemorrhage could only be arrested by ligature, the testicle was removed.

The reason assigned for this act of mutilation was that he had so frequent nocturnal emissions that he became greatly disgusted and depressed in spirit thereby.

He had practiced self-abuse for two years and ascribed his emissions to this cause.
