SLEEPS HALF A WEEK
Hypnosis To Be Tried in Strange
Case of Brooklyn Woman.

A hvpnotist is about to take charge
of the strange case OF Mrs. Charles
Hodes. Of No. 914 Brooklyn avenue.
BROOKLYN, who for three years has been
sleeping on an average Of three or four
davs week at stretch. Physicians
have been unable to diagnose her case
and so hypnotic suggestion is to be
tried.
Mrs. Hodes is forty-four years old.
As a rule she goes into her peculiar
slumbers on Friday nights or Saturday
mornings and sleeps until the follow
ing Tuesday or Wednesday. During this
time she takes no food. but her son says
that when she wakes up she always
tries to catch up for the meals she
missed and that the most nutritious
food IS always given To her. During
her long maps her mother and small
daughter take care Of the house.
Mrs. Hodes declares that she suffers
no physical discomfort, except that there
is an ever present drowsy feeling, and
she saws she could sleep even more if
she did not make an effort TO keep
awake When the sleeping period comes
on. however. resistance is useless.
