His treatment consisted of nourishing food, moderate exercise, frequent friction to the benumbed parts, special ointments, and medical baths.

Damien had faith in the treatments and said he wanted to be treated by no one but Goto, who eventually became good friends with Father Damien.

His latter dramas were more philosophical and allegorical in nature; these included Dak Ghar. Another is Tagore's Chandalika (Untouchable Girl), which was modelled on an ancient Buddhist legend describing how Ananda, the Gautama Buddha's disciple, asks a tribal girl for water.

A writer in 1827 described the Lady's Well as > a perpetual spring about two feet deep of beautifully clear water, and so > cold that a hand immersed in it is very soon benumbed. It is used > occasionally for the immersion of weakly children, and much resorted to by > persons of weak eyes. Analysis of the water in the 1970s showed that it has a high sulphate content, which may have been of some benefit in the treatment of eye infections.

Most traditional or historical first-aid treatments for redback spider bites are either useless or dangerous. These include making incisions and promoting bleeding, using ligatures, applying alkaline solutions, providing warmth, and sucking the venom out. In modern first aid, incising, sucking, applying bandages and tourniqueting are strongly discouraged. In 1893, the Camperdown Chronicle reported that a doctor noticed that a severely ill benumbed victim got much better overnight following treatment using injections of strychnine and cocaine; strychnine had been popular as a snake bite antidote, but it was not effective.

After his ordination in Rome in 1910, Coady began teaching at St. FX. He put on special classes for students at risk of failing, and prided himself on being able to teach maths to anyone. He honed his considerable oratorical skills and developed a talent for making complex concepts easily understood. Emigration from Nova Scotia continued, and Coady fought against a kind of "weird pessimism (that) so benumbed everybody that nothing has been attempted to break the spell."Lotz, p. 34 In 1921 he helped organize the province’s school teachers.

Harrison left at 4:00 pm and returned in the evening, when "he found Skinner's skin cold and clammy, his countenance pinched, his hands and feet benumbed, and symptoms of collapse", while Dover showed no poisoning symptoms. Harrison stayed with Skinner until he died at 8:40 pm. Dover said that just before Skinner died he requested that some papers be burned, although the doctor and inspector had witnessed that he did not. While the doctor and inspector were in the scullery with the dying Skinner, Dover was seen by Skinner's neighbour Elizabeth "Sissie" Guest fetching papers from upstairs, including a large blue or white paper, and burning them in the kitchen fire.

Montaño made his debut for the Jets on 11 October and was unable to help his side as they lost 1–0 to local rivals Central Coast Mariners. Montaño scored his first A-League goal in the Round 2 clash against Melbourne City, helping the Jet's to a 1–1 draw, courtesy of his emphatic finish. He retained his decent goal-scoring form scoring against the Mariners, Sydney, another against City, and an additional goal against the Roar in the culminating clash of the season. On 10 April, he scored against Melbourne Victory to give his side a 1–0 unforeseen win over the ladder leaders, Victory, a win that benumbed Victory supporters.

Penguin, 1972, p. 223. (published 1594), although he mistakenly locates the lake in Iceland: > Admirable, above the rest, are the incomprehensible wonders of the > bottomless Lake Vether, over which no fowl flies but is frozen to death, nor > any man passeth but he is senselessly benumbed like a statue of marble. All > the inhabitants round about it are deafened with the hideous roaring of his > waters when the winter breaketh up, and the ice in his dissolving gives a > terrible crack like to thunder, whenas out of the midst of it, as out of > Mont-Gibell, a sulphureous stinking smoke issues, that wellnigh poisons the > whole country. Lake Vether is also mentioned in Samuel Johnson's essay for The Idler No. 96, on Hacho of Lapland.

Absinthe became associated with violent crimes and social disorder, and one modern writer claims that this trend was spurred by fabricated claims and smear campaigns, which he claims were orchestrated by the temperance movement and the wine industry. One critic claimed: Édouard Manet's first major painting The Absinthe Drinker was controversial, and was rejected by the Paris Salon in 1859. Édouard Manet, The Absinthe Drinker, c.1859 L'Absinthe, by Edgar Degas, 1876 Edgar Degas's 1876 painting L'Absinthe can be seen at the Musée d'Orsay epitomising the popular view of absinthe addicts as sodden and benumbed, and Émile Zola described its effects in his novel L'Assommoir.1970 Penguin Classics English edition. p. 411 Swiss farmer Jean Lanfray murdered his family in 1905 and attempted to take his own life after drinking absinthe.

In 1816, Rembrandt Peale and four others established the Gas Light Company of Baltimore, the first manufactured gas company in America. In 1821, natural gas was being used commercially in Fredonia, New York. The first German gas works was built in Hannover in 1825 and by 1870 there were 340 gas works in Germany making town gas from coal, wood, peat and other materials. Working conditions in the Gas Light and Coke Company's Horseferry Road Works, London, in the 1830s were described by a French visitor, Flora Tristan, in her Promenades Dans Londres: > Two rows of furnaces on each side were fired up; the effect was not unlike > the description of Vulcan's forge, except that the Cyclopes were animated > with a divine spark, whereas the dusky servants of the English furnaces were > joyless, silent and benumbed.... The foreman told me that stokers were > selected from among the strongest, but that nevertheless they all became > consumptive after seven or eight years of toil and died of pulmonary > consumption.

The recollection of parting with my tender mother kept me awake, while the tears constantly flowed from my eyes. A number of times in the night, the little boy begged of me earnestly to run away with him, and get clear of the Indians; but remembering the advice I had so lately received, and knowing the dangers to which we should be exposed, in traveling without a path and without a guide, through a wilderness unknown to us, I told him that I would not go, and persuaded him to lie still till morning. My suspicion as to the fate of my parents proved too true; for soon after I left them they were viciously tomahawked to death and scalped, together with Robert, Matthew, Betsey, and the woman and her two children, and mangled in the most shocking manner After a hard day's march we encamped in a thicket, where the Indians made a shelter of boughs, and then built a good fire to warm and dry our benumbed limbs and clothing; for it had rained some through the day. Here we were again fed as before.

Based on direct evidence and on the autopsy of Rafqa's remains in 1927, she had become paralyzed due to complete disarticulation in her wrist and finger joints, while the pain continued in her head, her devastated eye sockets and her nosebleeds ... completely immobile, her lower jaw touched her benumbed knee. Even in this state, Rafqa was able to crawl to the chapel on the feast of Corpus Christi to the amazement of all the sisters. When asked about this, Rafqa replied, “I don’t know. I asked God to help me and suddenly I felt myself slipping from the bed with my legs hanging down; I fell on the floor and crawled to the chapel.” On a separate occasion, when asked by her superior if she would like to see, Rafqa responded, “I would like to see for at least an hour, to be able to look at you.” In an instant the superior could see Rafqa smile and suddenly said, “Look, I can see now.” Not believing her, Sister Ursula put her to the test asking her to identify several objects. Shortly thereafter, Rafqa fell into a deep sleep for about two hours.
