iethargy returned. At the end of three
more years he again woke up for a few
days and again relapsed. Each day he
returned to consciousness for q brief sea-
son, but the spell of sleepiness at once
exerts its swav again, and the man is as

4uinine, and even stry. -hnine. but without
effect. Two years ago his Oldest son, dis
couraged at the dark prospects on the farm,
committed suicide, and IL little later the
second boy died. At neither time was the
father able to understand the calamity.

her attentions, and is his sole assistance.
