A story is related in a medical
jou.nal published at Portland of
the laziest man on earth. This
man resided at Belfast and was
named Thompson. He went to bed
ia 1877, when a boy of eleven years,
and did not leave it until the first
of March, 1907. He was waited up
on by en indulgent mother and only
when bis motner was soil! that sh6
had to be taken to a hospital did
the man get up. The suit discard
ed by him thirty years ago was hunt
ed up but it took three men an en
tire evening to squeeze him into it.
During this period of absolute and
uninterrupted laziness many physi
cians attempted to stimulate
Thompson out of his chronic lethar
gy by applying irritating plasters
and mild electric currents, but
their efforts were futile. He appar
ently awoke to some interest in life
during his enforced absence, from
bed recently and promises reform.!
