the art OF medicine and sugeyErAOl
today lying In trance, from which
all the art of medicine and surgery ls
powerless TO awaken her.
For the third time In two years
the mystery OF sleep has fallen upon
the woman Previously the spells
have lasted several weeks, and the
present attack began last Tuesday
but the family, because of public suri-
osity, kept the condition of Mrs,
Hawkins secret.
The patient has not been given
treatment. and apparently her health
Is not affected by the spells.
