Medicine: Sobber
At Attleboro, Mass., a cinema performance last week made one Violet Miguel, 17, weep. By the time she reached home she was crying hysterically. Rugged household ministrations did not quiet her. Dr. Earl Russell White, 36, was called. He could not stop her. She sobbed all that night, all the next day. Thumping her swollen nose did no good, nor slapping her slobbered face. After five days narcotics stultified her. When she awoke her crying hysteria was over. Said Dr. White: "If she holds the record for sobbing, I hold it for loss of sleep."
