GIRL HAS SLEPT TEN DAYS.
HAS AGED TEN YEARS IN APPEARANCE
IN THAT TIME-SPECIALISTS
CAN'T AWAKEN HER.

Physicians at ST Vincent's Hospital and many
others who have been called into consultation
are completely at sea over a case there. For
ten days girl has lain unconscious.
Nellie Corcoran. servant. who lived with her
mother at NO l4oI Third-ave, was taken TO the
hospital on October 10 in an unconscious con-
dition from the home of Mrs Hanse OF No 22S
East Fourteenth-st.. where she had been en-
ployed for a month. Since that time the doctors
have done everything in their power to restore
her TO consciousness. but she is still in a state
OF coma Mrs Hanse says that on October Is
the girl retired usual at about 1880 o. m.
She had been perfectly well. The next morning
Mrs. Hanse was awakened by her little dog
scratching at her bed she got up and found
that the girl was still sleeping When she made
a close examination she could not detect any
pulse.
Electricity has been tried again and again, the
shocks being as strong as could be used without
endangerlng life, and still the girl lies on her
cot, barely breathing, and completely uncon-
scious. Prominent specialists have been called
in every day. but none of them have been able
10 explain the nature of the maady from which
she is suHerlnS The physicians at the hospital
say that the only explanation which has pre-
sented itself TO their minds is that she is in
hypnotic sleep. but they say that even if that
were the case, she should have long ago respond
ed 10 the treatment which has been admins
tered
There are no pronounced symptoms. Her
pulse is little faster than normal and the ther-
mometers have failed at any time TO record more
than half degree Of fever. Yet her appearance
is changing rapidly. and the ten days that she
has been in the hospital she has aged ten years
