SIX WEEKS IN A TRANCE.
Pauline Fitzgerald Of New Haven Awakening
from Long Sleep.

New Haven. Conn, March G.-Pauline
Fitzgerald. the H-yedr-old girl. who for
more than six weeks has been sleeping a
catdleptic trance. IS beginning to awaken
ana to take nOuriShment of her own ac-
cord. She is also able in her waking mo
ments 10 talk, though not for any pro
lunged time.
Somewhat more than six weeks ago the
girl began to show apathy and to lose
recollection of friends and conversation.
She slept long and soundly and gradually
for longer period. She was taken to the
hospital, where after a few days Of treat
ment she went into deep sleep from
which she could not lie awakened by any
ordinary means. Finally as strong a cur
rent of electricity as was considered Sd fe
Tor human beng to undergo, was sent
through her system for very brief periods
but without avail.
The girl continued in the trance and the
hospital authorities determined it was
not case for them. She was therefore
transferred to the Springside Home the
town farm, last Friday. The ride in the
ambulance seemed to do her good, for in
4 day or two she began to respond to
treatment better than while in the hos
pital. Yesterday. she was awake in a
half conscious state for a few moments
and. today. more frequently and for
longer periods.
1t has been ascertained that once before
she was in 4 cataleptic trance but not for
50 long a period.

How TO Save Doctor Bills.

We have saved many doctor bills

n bottle open all the time and when
ever any of my family or
myself begin to catch cold we
begin to use the Cough Rene
