The Rockefeller institute has obtained a lien on the skull of Herr A. Gruen, a 49-year-old official of a Viennese firm, who has not slept for 19 years as the result of a contusion of the brain received during the war.

The development of an extraordinary appetite is the only abnormality displayed by the man.
