Efforts were made TO rouse him, but they
were unavailing, and n doctor was sent for.
After his examination hedeclared that the man

that his coma was induced by the strain under
which he had boon. He advised that he be left
alone. HeicelberZ remained unconscious all day
yesterday. Doctors said he was in no danger.

from epilepLic fits. The doctors said the attack
yesterday was not of that nature.
