In spite of his infirmities, after his pains had ceased he lived a comparatively comfortable life.

His digestion was good, and his excretory functions were sufficient.

The urine always showed phosphates, and never the slightest sign of free phosphoric acid.

He still retained his sexual feeling, and occasionally had erections.

This man died in 1802 at the age of fifty, asphyxia being the precursor of death.
