Caldwell, of Hunting- ton, has been asleep for seventeen days, and had not fully awakeved yesterday. Seventeen days since the child complained of a severe headache, followed by a severe chill. Ofthe next day she did not awaken, and Dr. Pritchard, the family physician, was called in. The symptoms were of a low grate of fever. All efforts to awaken the child have preved unavailing. When given medicine she mechanically swallows the douse, but does not open her eyes or give the least evidence of conscious- ness, and in that condition she has re- mained ever since. The case is a very pe- culiar one, without a similar precedent in the medical authorities. The fever ap- pears to be growing worse, and slight hopes are entertained for her recovery.
