Hasn't Had One Of Her "Sleeps" Yet

HASNE'T HAD ONE OF HER "SLEEPS" YET

WHAT DR. HERDMAN THINKS OF THE CLEMENSMITH CASE.

Two Other Very Peculiar Cases Which Were Successfully Treated Here.

The case of Mary Clenensmith, the Coldwater girl who sleeps for three or four days at a time, is a most interesting one and the physicians at the hospital are anxiously awaiting a return of one of these sleeps in order to study the characteristics more thoroughly.

Dr. Herdman says that her trouble is undoubtedly due to some nervous disorder. "All we know about her case is what she herself says," he remarked to the Argus. "She told me that during her long sleep of 30 days, she could be roused and would be conscious for a moment as to what was going on about her, but she would immediately drop back into sleep again I should say that it was a cataleptic state, and she may be here three months before she can be called cured of her troulbe. I am simply treating her with tonics to restore the normal condition of the nerves.

"Did I ever have an exactly similar case? No, none of these cases are exactly alike. Last year I had a case of a young man, apparently strong, who would drop into a sleep just as soon a he sat down, and the only way he could keep awake was to walk around or do some manual labor. The year be ore, a young lady came to me. Her case was very peculiar. If she happened into a warm room she would fall asleep and then somnambulistic traits would crop out. Both of these cases were permanently cured. I think we will be able to help Miss Clemensmith."
