Translations:Victor of Aveyron/48/en

I have often given him large quantities of snuff, without exciting any disposition to sneeze; which is perfect proof, that in this case there did not exist between the organ of smell, and those of respiration and sight, that kind of sympathy which is apt to induce either sneezing or the secretion of tears. This last symptom was still less liable than the other to be produced by painful affections of the mind; and despite numberless contradictions; despite the severe and apparently cruel measures made use of, especially during the first months of his new life, I never once caught him in the act of shedding tears.
