“Dora Meek, who, after u quarrel
with her sweetheart fifty-six days ago,
immediately fell into a somnolent
trance, has not in that time evinced
distinct consciousness or spoken a
word. Restoratives in the hands of
physicians have failed to arouse her.
Once, when forced to breathe ammo
nia fumes, she coughed, half arose
from bed, mumbled incoherently a
moment rod then relapsed. The fur
ther nse of pneumonia was desisted
from for fear of suffocation. She eats
a little each day, yet apparently does
{t instinctively. Every effort is being
made to rouse her, bat to no effece.
