TWELVE YEARS ASLEEP.
The Peculiar Case of Herman Harms,
the Minnesota Marvel.
Unconscious During All Those Years Ex.
cept Brief Intervals, and Reduced to Six.
~ Pounds in Weight.

WIXoNA MISN,, Feb. l7-Hcrman Harms,
of Utica who has attracted considerable
attention throughout the country by rea-
son of his extended sleep, being termed
the minnesota Marvel" has at last awak
ened from his somnolent state which has
extended over period of nearly twelve
years. He came from Hanover, Germany,
and with his family settled in ST. Charles,
Mimi, in 1869. He had previously been
troubled with fits OF somrolency, but in
the summer of 1915 the strange disease
took firm hold upon him, and he lost con.
sciousness and remained in that stats,
awaki@g for two or three minute at in.
tervals and partaking of the li,ihtest
kind of nourishment and then falling to
sleep again. In December, 1889, he
awoke to full consciousness, and after
recuperating his lost energies went TO
work as if nothing had happened. All
went well with him until August, 1888,
when he was suddenly taken sleepy while
carrying a cup Of tea TO his wife, who was
sick in bed. He fell to the floor unconscious
and remained ever since in deep slum-
ber, awaking only at brief intervals as
fore, between the hours of I and II a.
m, until his final awakening this week.
When first attacked by this strange dis
ease, Harms was about thirty eight years
old, and in apparent perfect health, weigh
$50 pounds. But he is now but little moro
than skeleton, weighing scarcely sixty
pounds, and when he first awoke his hair
and beard were long and struggling. A
curious feature of his illness was that
neither shouts nor blows awakened him,
and strong electric batteries were ap.
piled, but with no avail the only effect
being to cause slight contraction of the
muscles. His case has baffied the skill
OF physicians, who unite in the opinion
that the excessive use of quinine undoubt-
edly tended to aggravate the complaint. A
correspondent visited him February Is,
and found him in chair reading Ger.
man newspapers He appeared rational.
He entertained sanguine hopes that he
| would be able TO be about again by warm
weather. Mr.. and Mrs. Harms have five
children, the eldest of whom, boy of
| about nineteen, has furnished almo st the
sole support of the family by his daily
labor, the remaining four children being
quite small.
