This suspension of the human body, which the vulgar call hanging, operates death by apoplexia that is, the blood being unable to return to the heart by the compression of the veins, it rushes to the brain, and the man dies.
Twenty-five years ago Holladay, who was then just working to the top in Wall Street, drove himself too hard it was when the market went all to pieces over that Central Pacific deal and had a touch of apoplexia. It was just a touch, but I made him take a long vacation, which he spent abroad with his wife. It was then, by the way, that his daughter was born.
"Marry, then," replied Dwining, "hang me the patient up in such fashion that the carotid arteries shall not be compressed, and the blood will not determine to the brain, and apoplexia will not take place; and again, if there be no ligature around the thorax, the lungs will be supplied with air, whether the man be hanging in the middle heaven or standing on the firm earth."
Sir Wycherly is materially better, and expresses, as well as a man who has not the use of his tongue, can express a thing, his besetting desire to make his last will and testament. In ordinary cases of apoplexia, it is good practice to oppose this craving; though, as it is my firm opinion that nothing can save the patient's life, I do not set myself against the measure, in this particular case.
