Mrs. Rosetta Armstrong, who lived
near Ashland, ILL.,, aud who WAS reported a
few daysago as undergoing long sleep.
died Jan 26. it being the forty ninth day
of her sleep The case WAS very pccu-
liar one and excited universal attention.
The physician in charge Of the case has
since been deluged with letters of inquiry
in regard to it, The disease is known as
hystero calalepsy. It's closely related to
the hypnotic stage of the psychological
state as taught by mesmerists, and is pro-
nounced to be a parallel case to one in
Nebraska, which is also exciting great ats
tention at this time The popularity of
the case Of Mrs Armstrong WAS that the
will and the physical organizations were
thoroughly disconnected so that the mind
had 10 control whatever over the body
When addressed personally, in manner
that implied any action or will power on
her part for an answer. she would become
entirely inactive. But when listening to
conversation directed to another
person, the expression OF her cOuntenance
indicated that she understood what was
being said. II the conversation Was of a
humorous nature she would laugh, or if
of melancholy nature she would cry
The doctor, when wishing to address her,
spoke as though addressing third party,
and thereby was able to communicate
with her to some extent The lack of
control of her body was such that limb.
placed in any position. remained as
placed indefinitely.
The cause of this peculiar state of the
apparent separation of mind and body is
not fully understood by physicians or
scientists In some cases 1t is thought to
| be wilful action on the part of the pa
| tient, while in others it does not have that
appearance Mrs Armstrong sank stead
lily after the thirtieth day, and died as
stated above on the forty ninth day, the
direct cause Of her death being exhaus>
