A Brief Note From 1900 About A Sneezing Man

From the September 29, 1900 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“Flushing, L.I.–Ferdinand Dohn started to sneeze yesterday morning soon after he arose, about 6 o’clock, and he continued to sneeze until 8 o’clock last night, when he burst a blood vessel in the neck and was removed to the Flushing hospital. 

The physicians there say that it is one of the most remarkable cases they have had to deal with.”
