A LONG NAP.
a Buffalo Man Who Has Been Sleep
ing Year.

ing Il Year.
n dispatch from Buffalo says: A yer,
peculiar and remarkable case has Jus,
come to light in this city, but has not a.
yet, strange to say, attracted the motto,
of the local press. The state asylum
Tor the insane, located here, is one OF
the largest and finest institutions of this
kind in the world. Itcontains at presen
about $50 patients, the most remarkable
case among them being that of man o
German descent, who halls from a larg.
town in Southern Ohio. He was foun.
lying in street here one day over a yea,
ago, and was taken to the police station
by an ignorant policeman who believed
him to be intoxicated There his real
condition was discovered by a physician
and he was hurried away to tn,
insane asylum. The man has spoken
but once during the time he has
been an inmate of the asylum,
Then he declared incoherently that the
lord had commanded him to Sleep
and that che would be awakened by tht
Lord when it suited his pleasure, -
or in other words to- the same effect
being that he must sleep, and sleep he
certainly does, for he is utterly uncon
scious, and has been for over a year, be-
ing fed on liquid food, just as an infant
would be. His eyes never open, and
when raised up in bed, if his support is
withd rawn, he will sink down as 4 huiDr
on a dead person. Various devices has
been resorted to in the vain endeayor
to arouse him from his lethargic condi-
ton, including electricity, shower baths
trlckery, etc. In presence of the CORE
spondent DR.. Granger. and of the AT
tending physicians, pinched the patients
flesh in sensitive parts, but not mus
when the " head bos ye'
OF his bsadstead was soundly raped up
on with brass key, the patients face
twltched convulsively. The man has
excellent family connections, and a
brother of his declares that no insanity
was ever noticed in his brother previous
to his coming to Buffalo on a visit. when
he was overtaken by his present great
misfortune. DR.. Granger states that the
case is a rare one, only one or two such
being on record. He also states that
the patient is liable to arise at any mo-
ment, either perfectly sane man or a
combative, destructive, raving maniac.
He believes him to be cognizarft of all
that transpires in his. presence. He il
30 years of age, and unmarried. Tb.
case, when it becomes more publicly
known, will certainly awaken wide
spread attention in scientific and me di.
ical circles. 1885,. q
