of Schoharie county, New York who for the last FIVE
years has been buried in the profound sleep with
but very few intervals of consciousness private cxh
bion OF this extraordinary phenomenon given last
evening, at Academy Hail. in the presence Of limited
number Of spectators composed principally Of medical
gentlemen of this city and members Of the press in the
course Of which the subject underwent thorough
and searching examination
Mr.. Vroman is thrty-seven years Of age He is q
man of ordinary ability, though uneducated, and, pre-
vous TO this singular attack had been employed
mon aborer on farm. No hereditary predsposition to
disease Of any kind is known have existed in his fam
~ and his own health previous to the of
his FIVE nap had been good In the winter Of 1913
he experienced the first symptoms Of his disease, which
manifested themselves in sudden attacks Of supor which
gradually increased IN frequency and finally resulted in
his present condition At long intervals revival Of
seriousness takes place these wakefl periods continuing
generally from two to three hours During these inter-
walls he conyerses freely and nationally concerning the
affairs which formerly occupied his attention but unor
tunaey for the curious in psychological matters retains
no recollection whatever Of his sensation while in the abb
normal state His altogether is one of those rare
phenomena which seem to defy all hypothesis however
Ingenious.
In person Mr. Vroman Is Of medium height and very
much emaciated his weight not exceeding ninety five
pounds His hair and eyes dark and bis patriarcha
beard his fixed and motoRess features and the palor Of
his complexion render his countenance of the most
remarkable We have ever gazed upon His food consists
principally OF milk ard brohs, introduced with diff
fculty into his mouth by Of tube his jaws being
usually firmly closed render some degree of force
necessary to open them.-N \. Journal Of Commerce.
