Gockelius speaks of self-castration in a ruptured man, and Golding, Guyon, Louis, Laugier, the Ephemerides, Alix, Marstral, and others, record instances of self-castration. In his Essays Montaigne mentions an instance of complete castration performed by the individual himself. Thiersch mentions a case of a man who circumcised himself when eighteen.
In this remarkable case 30 gallons of fluid were drawn off from the abdomen after death. Bartholinus mentions a dropsy of 120 pounds; and Gockelius one of 180 pounds; there is recorded an instance of a dropsy of 149 pounds. There is an old record of a woman of fifty who had suffered from ascites for thirty years. She had been punctured 154 times, and each time about 20 pints were drawn off.
