other human being, so far as is
shown, has spent so great a proper
tion of the past ten years in sleep as
has Miss May White, of this town.
She * the victim of most remarka-
bic malady. Day after day, she lies
moticnless, hoping for the return of
bodily vigor which an accident de-
prived her of, IL years ago.
In this interval Miss Whites long
est period of unconsciousness has
been 127 days-from June 20 to Oct.
IS. 1891.
During this time the sleeping girl
lay in state that was all but death.
So heavy was the spell that lay upon
her that only the most violent slim
ulants could arouse her sufficiently
to take each day the nourishment
necessary to Prolong life. The sleep
was absolutely dreamless. At length,
when her family had practically des-
paired of ever rousing her to life, the
chains of sleep were broken. Since
this time, Miss Whites longest period
of continuous sleep has been 60
hours.
In 1890, the girl began a business
course at n school in Ypsilanti. Her
work was suddenly interrupted.
however, by a fall on a slippery
pavement.
1t shortly developed that the fall
had injured Miss Whites spine, the
injury resulting in nephritis and
hystero-epilePsy. Fifty times Il day
the poor girl was subject to frightful
each attack followed bV
a period of sleep.
Miss White weighs 12O pounds. At
one time she was down to 90 pounds.
and the doctors have strong hopes of
her ultimate recovery.
