QUEER SICKNESS AFFECTS GIRL

A peculiar sleeping sickness has attacked a young daughter, 13 or 14 years old, of Mr. and Mrs. Milt Bunnell of Wolcott, and at last report she had been sleeping since Friday of last week. The disease baffles the doctors, who say it is something that has followed to some extent in the wake of the influenza and that several cases have been reported over the country. This girl is said to sleep continuously except when aroused once in a while by members of the family, and then she drops off to sleep again almost immediately.
