Adams describes the case of a woman who attempted suicide with a common table-knife, severing the thyroid, cricoid, and first three rings of the trachea, and lacerating the sternohyoid and thyroid arteries; she finally recovered. There is a curious case of suicide of a woman who, while under the effects of opium, forced the handle of a mirror into her mouth.
