Longest Yawn on Record.

A remarkable case of persistent yaFnins. the seizures following each other in close succession for more than five hours and incapacitating the victim during this period is described by Brixton medical correspondent.
 The patient, perfectly healthy young domestic servant in a Herne Hill household, began to yawn about five o'clock in the evening, the parox- ysms continuing without cessation until she fell asleep about ten o'clock The pain in the jaw muscles became intense due to fatigue following on their unaccustomed over use.
 The doctor suggests that the seizure was due to the powerful influence which mental suggestion has over the muscles used in the act of yawning Practically all the muscles used Tn yawninE are controlled by one nerve, the fifth eranial." the doctor writes. "The reason why you are so apt to yawn when you see someone else yawning is generally believed te be that some reflex stimulus, as a result of the minds. action, finds it's way along the ibres of this fifth nerve which sets the ya@ning muscles in fzrotipn,
