Chicago,, Feb. 18-Asleep for a leap year is the experience of 27- year old Patricia Maguire, who has been asleep a year to-day.
After days of complaining of feel. ing tired and sleepy, she lapsed into unconsciousness on a Sunday morning while preparing
for church.
No sign of returning conscious- neas has been observed as a result of a transfussion given the pretty brunette with blood drawn from her stepfather. Medical physicians are to make another attempt to waken her by giving a blood transfusion from a person who has recovered Irom sleeping sickness. Acting on the same principle as a serum or vaccine, it is hoped the blood from a former victim, already selected by the doctors, may have the power to aid Patricia.
