102 DAYS 1 SLUMBER SLEEPING SICKNESS VICTIM WAKENEb BY MUSIC. Having slept" 102 days and nights, Mrs. Dora. Muntz, 29, a resident of New York, was wakened by the music of a vMjji, says the Daily Mail. Sho is suffering from the disease known as encephalitis lethargica (a form of sleeping sickness), and, except for a few brief intervals of a few minutes, ?he has been plunged in a deep "sleep, from which nothing could apparntly waken her. All the resources of medical science were employed in vain, till, as a last effort, it was decided to try the effect of music jin rousing the dormant nerve centres, as tho woman had been sin enthusiastic concert-goer. A young violinist namod Hoffman was engaged to play by the' bedside of the sick woman. After playing a Hungarian rhapsody without effect, the musician changed to Schubert's "Serenade/' a few minutes the patient opened her eyes, nodded her head, and after nearly an hour of the music tho woman was fully awako. The doctors state that there are no signs of her relapsing into 'slumber, and that, as soon' as she regains strength she will be able to leave the hospital. She was attacked by the strange peeping malady a few days after she had apparently made a complete recovery from influenza.
