MALADY WITHOUT PARALLEL.
Young Woman Can Remain Awake
Only While Standing.

WEEHAWKEN. n. j.. August 10
Miss Alice Geiser of Weehawken is the
victim OF peculiar malady which physi-
clans say is without parallel in medical
annals. She cannot keep awake unless
she stands UP. If she sits or lies down
she soon becomes unconscious.
The affiiction differs from the sleeping
sickness of Africa. in that Miss Geiser
has been troubled with her unusual
somnolence for two years, while the
course of the African disease is run
in about two weeks.
Although she has been under constant
medical treatment for two years, no
Roadway has been made toward a cure
Miss Geiser. In all other respects, is q
normal, healthy young woman.
