came addicted to the use of cigarettes,
and as "a result of continued smoking
lapsed into a cOmatose condition, in
which he remained for thirty-siX hours.
He recovered consciousness. but his
mind is now a blank He does not
recognize anyone except his father and
q classmate. Neither does he know
his home and former haunts. le is
unable 10 read English, but converses
when moved out of apparent lethargy.
He still retains his knowledge OF Ger
man and the languages, and while he
cannot count more than two in his
mother tongue he readily runs up tig-
ures in German. Physicians say his
condition is due to the excessive use Of
cigarettes. He is vigorous and
healthy. but is as completely under the
care and guidance of his parents as a
child. The young man obeys his faith
err implicitly. but does not hear CONVEX
sation carried on in his presence or
sees any object until he is touched and
aroused
