Marathon Hiccuper.

The article focuses on Jack O'Leary, who has been hiccuping for four years. His condition started after recovering from peritonitis in 1948. Hiccuping has also brought vomiting which forced him to limit his diet on mashed carrots, peas and toast with tea. Among the treatments undergone by O'Leary were sedatives and drugs to slow down the impulses in the phrenic nerve.
