About two years since, William, the waiter at the
Queen's Head Tavern, Lower-street, Islington, suffered
a paralytic attack, which suddenly deprived him of the
faculty of speech, and he remained completely dumb
until last Thursday night. As he lay in bed, he awoke,
as if some person had called him, and discovered that
his speech had been restored to him as suddenly as he
had been deprived of it. The poor fellow, almost
overpowered by his joyful feelings, immediately left his
bed, and repaired to the chamber of his master and
mistress, spreading some little alarm through the house,
by the viva wee announcement of the happy change he
had undergone, and the following day, with a some-
what exuberant joy, he caused the church bells to be
rung. On Sunday he attended at the parish church,
when the Minister publicly announced the event, and
in William's name returned thanks to the ALMIGHTY.
The power of speech is perfectly restored, but he ob-
serves, " I sometimes almost forget hbw I used to talk."
