Sacher-Masoch in the Age of Shock Therapy

[Chris Burford]

I tracked down the quote: in Marx's last known letter, to his doctor.

(cited in Karl Marx by Francis Wheen, 1999)

"Please dear Doctor, send your bill to 41 Maitland Park London NW. I regret 
I had not the time of taking leave of you. Indeed I find some relief in a 
grim headache. Physical pain is the only known 'stunner' of mental pain."

Marx attached a photograph of himself.
