With this artificial member he was enabled to deceive his wife for fifteen months, and was only discovered when; she undressed him while he was in a state of intoxication.

To further the deception he had told his wife immediately after their marriage that it was quite indecent for a husband to undress in the presence of his wife, and therefore she had always retired first and turned out the light.

Partly from fear that his virile power would be questioned and partly from ignorance, the duration of actual coitus would approach an hour.

When the discovery was made, his wife hid the instrument with which he had perpetrated a most successful fraud upon her, and the patient subsequently attempted coitus by contact with unsuccessful results, although both parties had incomplete orgasms.

Shortly afterward evidences of mental derangement appeared and the man became the subject of exalted delusions.
