Drs. Russell q Booth,
Gentemen-I take great pleasure in saying
to you that my son is doing very nicely. He is
improving rapidly in hearing. When you COM
mepced his treatment il was almost impossible
to make him understand except by signs and
the movements OF the lips; but now he can
hear and understand great deal OF ordinary
conversation, although he has been under your
care only about three weeks. We believe he
will now fully recover his hearing. He Is only
five years old and has been deaf three years,
and We ara also fully aware that 1t is more difii-
cult to doctor a child than grown person.
