SPEECH STRANGELY REoAlNEp

Hey,ns Been Dumb Tor sixty-Eiye
Again.
DR.. Livingston, a resident of the little
village of Bennettsville, Chenango
county, Conn.,, has regained the power
of speech and hearing after having
been a deaf-mute for nearly sixty-five
years. About two weeks ago he awoke
in the night with a very severe pain
in his head, as if he had been struck
with a club. He called out to his wife,
who was sleeping beside him. At the
sound of his voice she awOke, aston
ished to hear him pronounce her name.
She had never before heard him speak.
AS 500 al she recovered from her sur
prise she asked him what was the mat
ter. Her words were the first he ad
heard since he was a child, according
to the Utica Herald, and the revelation
of his changed condition astounded him.
The pain in the meantime grew less
acute and he and his wife talked until
morning Of his wonderful recovery.
The news spread quickly, and all the
next day the doctor was overwhelmed
with congratulations. Conversation ut
first caused him great annoyance, but
he has gradually become accustomed
to It. His vocabulary, which at first
was limited, has increased, and he has
no difficulty in expressing himself.
When Dr.. Livingston was three years
old q severe attack of scarlet fever left
him entirely deaf. The childish words
he knew gradually were forgotten, and
by the time he was six years old he
became q mute. Despite his past afhic-
ton the old man Is intelligent and well
read. He is ut a loss to account for
his strange good fortune, and the ply
sicians In the neighborhood can shed
nc light on the mystery. DR.. Liyings-
ton Is anxious to have his case investi-
gated by the medical faculty, In hope
that some explanation as to his recov-.
cry can be given. The pain which he
felt In his head gradually passed down
his spine into his legs and then left him
entirely. Though seventy-one years OF
age he - In excellent health.
