Coy first announced that he had made dis
coyery that restored the lost hearing, the doctors
neither believed nor dis5elieved; they waited for
proof. 1t came in such avalanche they could
not help bat believe.
They now admit that to contradict the of
the discovery is to into collision with the
facts
Matters Of fact determined by the tesri-
mony Of truthful witnesses. and the matter o. fact
that deaf people having their lost hearing
stored is now completely proved the matter
of fact that auinine will counteract or that
vaccine Will cuunteract smallpox.
The doctors learned that the lost sense of hear
Ing was being restored by exactly the means
by which they learn that miners are getting go,1
out Of the mountains of California that divers
are getting diamonds out of the waters oc Austria

the people Neither the medical profession AIRY

But il .he medical profession were not the FIRST
to discover the fact that the deaf were really

So spoke the owner of the mustang to

The tenderfoot sprang to the saddle and
what happened thereafter he only dimly

mate either. He reared. leaped, plunged
