ad small and withered
breasts, and whose children owed their nourishment entirely to the
males. Hall exhibited to his class in Baltimore a negro of fifty-five
who had suckled all his mistress' family. Dunglison reports this case
in 1837, and says that the mammae projected seven inches from the
chest, and that the external genital organs were well developed.
Paullini and Schenck cite cases of men suckling infants, and Blumenbach
has described a male-goat which, on account of the engorgement of the
mammae, it was necessary to milk every other day of the year.

Ford mentions the case of a captain who in order to soothe a child's
cries put it to his breast, and who subsequently developed a full
supply of milk. He also quotes an instance of a man suckling his own
children, and mentions a negro boy of fourteen who secreted milk in one
breast. Hornor and Pulido y Fernandez also mention similar instances of
gynecomazia.

Human Odors.--Curious as it may seem, each individual as well as each
species is in life enveloped with an odor peculiarly its own, due to
its exhaled breath, its excretions, and principally to its insensible
perspiration. The faculty of recognizing an odor in different
individuals, although more developed in savage tribes, is by no means
unknown in civilized society. Fournier quotes the instance of a young
man who, like a dog, could smell the enemy by scent, and who by smell
alone recognized his own wife from other persons.

Fournier also mentions a French woman, an inhabitant of Naples, who had
an extreme supersensitiveness of smell. The slightest odor was to her
intolerable; sometimes she could not tolerate the presence of certain
individuals. She could tell in a numerous circle which women were
menstruating. This woman could not sleep in a bed which any one else
had made, and for this reason discharged her maid, preparing her own
toilet and her sleeping apartments. Cadet de Gassieourt witnessed this
peculiar instance, and in consultation with several of the physicians
of Paris attributed this excessive sensitiveness to the climate. There
is a tale told of a Hungarian monk who affirmed that he was able to
decide the chastity of females by the sense of smell alone. It is well
known that some savage tribes with their large, open nostrils not only
recognize their enemies but also track game the same as hounds.

Individual Odors.--Many individuals are said to have exhaled
particularly strong odors, and hist
