NO SLEEP FOR EIGHT YEARS
Still This ST. Louis Man is Living and Works Every DayHs
Strange and Interesting Experience.

To lie in bed sleepless for more
than two thousand consecutive
nights would prove too much for the
ordinary mans constitution; yet, Mr..
John Schenk, 2111 N. 18th Street,
st. Louis, after eight years of sleep
less nights, lives to smilingly relate
the story. His wakefulness, Mr..
Schenk believes, is the result of
stomach trouble from which he suf-
fered for years.
} In speaking of his remarkable
case, recently he said: "During the
past eight years 1 have suffered
more than 1 can describe, My
stomach was so effected that 7
dreaded to eat for knew 1 should
suffer afterward. 1 had violent
headaches almost constantly and at
night 1 could only lay awake and
suffer"
