The woman lapsed into Inconsistencies
two sons were making every effort to
keep her awake. After sleep overlook
her she could not be aroused.
The case was reported to DR.. John ID.

search Of similar cases and found that
the disease which has afflicted Mrs.
Hodes has had no parallel in the history
Of medical science since III. when the
illness Of the Lady Of NismeS urew the
attention OF all tho European professors,
The symptoms OF the two cases appear
almost exactly alike The Lady of Nismes
recovered after she had been treated by
neuroogists for six months.
while l have not had an opportunity
to make close study OF the condition
of Mrs. Hodes, 1t may be due to the alb
sorption OF toxins. ns from a decayed
tooth or intestinal fermentation" said
DR.. Quackenbos. There are many in
stances of protracted sleep. but few cases
have continued with regularity for any
long period. The symptoms show .
danger Of approaching apoplexy. which
would end the sleep In death"
DR., Quackenbos advised the remova
OF Mrs Hodes from her homo to a
neurological institute, where the case
could be made Y subject OF further study
The woman gave complete history OF
tho case before she gave way To drowsi
