Show He Hears With His Fingers. James, the 10-year-old son of John Hartman, a farmer south of this city, had spinal meningitis one year ago and was left practically deaf. Several months ago ho happened to place his hand on his mother's throat while she was talking and found ho could understand under-stand everything she said. He experimented experi-mented with others and found that the sense of touch in his case would make up for the deficiency in hearing. He cultivated cul-tivated it and now is able to hold conversation con-versation by placing his hand upon the throat of those he is talking with. He places the ball of the fingers upon the larynx and understands perfectly. Anderson An-derson (Ind.) Dispatch. |
