As Marguerite showed no signs of wakening, artificial feeding was resorted to before this could be done, two of her teeth had to be broken. to allow the tube to pass into her mouth. The girl was visited during her twenty years' sleep by nearly all doctors in France"; despite all their efforts to wake her, she kept 74 sleeping until last week, when she began to move; Parisian physicians wore telegraphed for, and arrived soon after, every proparation had TINE LARGE STORE, in Queen's Road been made by the medical men for the event.
