Living Death Is Cruel Fate of Gas Victim

Bu United Press FRESNO, Cal., June 24.—The human being that once was Mrs. Clara Drummond was being kep* alive by doctors today, but it was only a living de^th. For eighty-two days, since her brain and nerve system were stroyea by gas poisoning, she has laid unconscious and, doctore said, never will return to normal. Mrs. Drummond, who is 22, was found on April 4 in a gas-filled room. She had been in there six hours. The gas destroyed all the higher brain and nerve faculties, depriving her of reason, volition, hearing, speech or muscular control. Her mind is simply void. “The heart, "breathing, digestive and other involuntary functions have been left unimpaired,” her physician said, “and she may live for many years.” Although she is to all intents aijd purposes dead, she will be kept alive as long as medical skill can do it. Nurses feed Her liquid food through a tube and her digestive system, without her knowledge or control, assimilates it.
