months ago he had an attack OF sickness, but

he was seized with drowsiness, and for some
time after slept nearly two-thirds of the day.
This disease continued TO increase, until he
would sleep two or three days without wa

continuing an uninterrupted sleep Of five days.
His pulse is regular, though not very full, his
respiration is easy and natural, and his skin
moist aud cool. If food or drink be placed in
his mouth. he swallows it; and he walks
when led by the hand and slightly supported.
