Towards the middle of the eighteenth century, Pomme treated and
cured a hysteric by making her take ‘baths, ten or twelve hours a
day, for ten whole months’. At the end of this treatment for the
desiccation of the nervous system and the heat that sustained it,
Pomme saw ‘membranous tissues like pieces of damp parchment
…peel away with some slight discomfort, and these were passed
daily with the urine; the right ureter also peeled away and came out
whole in the same way’. The same thing occurred with the intestines,
which at another stage, ‘peeled off their internal tunics, which we
saw emerge from the rectum. The oesophagus, the arterial trachea,
and the tongue also peeled in due course; and the patient had
rejected different pieces either by vomiting or by expectoration.
