PATIENTS BALK AT SNORER

Human Foghorn Drives Sleep From Persons Confined In Hospital Ward at Cincinnati.—-The almost Incessant snoring of a patient in Ward E of the city hospital has caused a revolt among the fifty or more other patients confined’in that ward. For about twenty-two hours out of each twentyfour James Ramsey, a sufferer, sleeps. His sleep is/ accompanied by a deep sonorous sound which not only disturbs every patient in the ward, but can be distinctly heard in the corridors and adjacent wards. “For the love of Mike, take that human foghorn out of here!” one patient affected with a nervous disease said to the head nurse. ‘Tm going ’dippy,’ I know,” another patient said, after trying to sleep, but being unable to do so on account of the noise. “Make that fellow turn over on his side dr we will never get any sleep.”
