Show Learn to Use Both Hands. So far as many of the victims of, the war are concerned. It would certainly cer-tainly seem that ambidexterity would 'have been a blessing, remarks the Medical Record. A man who can use both hands In his work is much less helpless when he Is disabled than one who can use only his right hand. .When a man has been bereft of his, -right arm. nnd has to earn his living,; the question is raised In the vocation-, .al homes whether to fit him with an .nrtliicial hand and teach him to use tills or train him In the use of his left hand. A great deal of success has been attained already In the training of disabled soldiers In the use of the "left hand, and unless the objections brought against this can be sustained by more conclusive evidence than any that has yet been brought forward It would seem to be decidedly preferable 4u the majority of cases to train the left hand than to make the cripple dependent de-pendent upon an artificial hand. |
