As I have before stated, the third method of cas- 

 tration embraces the processes in which the testicu- 

 lar envelopes are left intact, while it is the gland or 

 cord which is submitted to the peculiar manipula- 

 tions by which their structure, and therefore the 

 secreting powers of the testicle, are so essentially 

 modified. In treating of this method, two special 

 operations present themselves for our consideration, 

 to wit : the crushing of the testicular support, and the 

 double subcutaneous tivisting, or histournage, of the
