Through all the years until the
Boy Phenomenon discovered his pow
er would also cure deafness, there
was no hope for the deaf and these
terrible noises in the acad. Science
stood impotent before the problem
of restoring hearing to deaf ears.
But short time ago the Boy
Phenomenon startled the world by
restoring the hearing to deaf people
who had lost their hearing through
measles, scarlet fever, colds ind ca
tarrh. The first reports Fere not
believed. "It is fraud = cried the
conservative medical m9h.
But as of old wheD/the Pharisees
assailed the man whYhad been given
back his sight, s9ft was last week
when Mr. IDydN was piled with
questions as no how his cure was
accomplished, and he replied; This
know, that whereas / was lams,
jcrippled, sore and ached all over now
| am we'll Free from all pains, and
walk without my sticks and also
when several skeptics went to see
Mr. Durham who was cured of
paralysis at the same time and has
had no need for his cru ches since,
Ihe met them pleasantly, but could
not inform them how t. had been
done. All that he could say was;
l'T know that was paralyzed for
years limbs we're cold and lifeless
could only walk by dragging my foot
while now have the use of my
limbs and am able to return to work
the first | have been able to do
since | was stricken three years ago.
And such is the story to be told
by nearly all who were treated at
the Opera House week ago. Mrs.
Capt. Freeman will be remembered
by those who were present the first
might, as the third lady treated. Be
sidos deafness, she had other troubles
of a serious nature, but she said If
she could have her hearing back
again, she would be willing to suf-
fer with the other ailments. In less
THAN four minutes her hearing was
restored, and she left the stage a
happy woman. The next day She
was treated at the private office for
her other aGflictions and today made
