چکیده
Sir,?I read with interest in your issue of August 1936 a case reported under the above heading. Two 3*ears ago when I was working as civil surgeon. Dwarka, near Post Okha, I came across a similar case in which a man?a renowned convict who was released ten years ago from Baroda Central Jail for his good behaviour and who had turned very religious since rhen?stabbed his abdomen with two similar cuts and the omentum and transverse colon came out. when I went to see the case he was alive and tolcl me in Unmistakable terms that he wanted to end his lite by dedicating it to the god Shiva as a penance for ins past deeds. I wondered how lie could do that, but to my suipnse lie allowed me to replace the protruding viscera bac c into his abdomen without chloroform 01* any otnei anaesthetic. He lived a day or two more and we got his evidence recorded before the police and a magistrate. This case proves that a man in intense feeling can do such injuries to himself.
