PARIS, May 2s.-Marguerite Royenval,
who awoke Tuesday from a twenty years
trance, died to-day. The case is referred
TO by the newspapers rs one of the most
remarkable known to medical science.
The woman fell into cataeptic trance
on May 81, 1888, after giving birth to child.
1t was thought at first that she was a
victim Of hallucination and the police were
going to arrest her. At the beginning OF
her long sleep she suffered serious con-
vulsive attacks about every two months,
but eventually all movement ceased.
her jaws were clinched violently and
she sank into the most profound lethargy,
with physical insensibility and mental
inertness. DR.. Charlier. who attended
her throughout, was able at first to cause
sensibility by injecting sulphate of atropine
simultaneously, but he ceased the treat
ment when he found that no permanent
progress was induced.
Throughout the twenty years the
voman's respiration was normal, and her
temperature slightly above the normal.
Her face was pale and waxlike, but was
not disagreeable TO look at.
During the last few years she showed
symptoms OF becoming consumptive. and
1t IL presumed that under tho influence Of
this new condition the awakening that
preceded her death occurred
DR.. Charlisr believes that the woman
was never conscious, but Prof. voisin, one
OF the many eminent doctors who frequently
visited her. thought that she sometimes
vaguely heard what was being said TO her
About hve months ago the doctors saw
signs OF returning consciousness and re-
newed their efforts to revive her, but she
did not open her eyes until Tuesday. when
feeling the doctors finger on her flesh,
she said: "You are ptnching me-
She answered the doctors quest ons
with Yes" or NO. but did not converse
further. From her laconic answ cry it
seemed that she was unable to recognize
her relatives. She mistook her mother
for her sister.
Her memory sppeared to be fixed on the
time when she worked in the village sugar
factory.
Throughout her sleep she was fed on
peptone, administered through quill where
a tooth had heen removed for the purpose.
She fell asleep at the age Of ~ years, and
awoke at the age of ~ to the consciousness
OF extreme physical weakness and exhauR-
ton. from which she died The body was
almost a skeleton.
