 teen days it v,a.s usually firm and secure in its place: and 

 as soon as this was evident, the skin was shaped into the

performed not according to the original 



method, but acc.uding to some of the |>!aus which Talia- 



cotius is erroneously su])]iosed to have followed. 



The indecent joke which Butler has made popular in his 



' Hudibras ' has little foundation. Taliacotius does indeed 



taking the skin for a new nose 



fiom the arm of another person ; and he concludes that 

 for s ,n.s it would, il better 



to do so : but he says he cannot imagine how it would In-

 that he never heard of the plan being attempted." The 

 when the original proprietor of 



the skin died, i.- founded mi an absurd story which Van 

 - to prove at ! a distance sym- 



pathy can act. A gentleman at Brussels, he says, had a 

 new nose made for him by Taliacotius from the arm of a 

 Bolognese porter ; and about thirteen months afterwards, 

 as he was walking in Brussels, it suddenly became cold 

 and dropped off, at the very instant at winch the ; 

 died at Bologna. Similar stories are told by Campanella, 

 Sir Kenelm Digby, and others; hut. as already shown, 

 thev are i: tor Taliacotius never at- 



tempted to transfer the skin of one man to the body of 

 another.
