steamer Lady Laurier, and a small
fleet of harbor craft and were safely

plished and not a life was lost.

her bow on the reef. The captain
hopes to get the steamer off at low
water, late tonight. The escape of a
vessel from such predicament is
only made at high water, but the

HYPNorlsM RESTORED VOICE
Nightmare Had Caused Man to Loes
the Power Of Speech for Moro
Than Four Years.

After being dumb for more than
four years, David Newell Shutter
of III Milton street, Long Island
City, has had his power of speech
restored to him by means Of hyp-
notism.
DR.. Alfred J. Fox of 210 Fifty.
sixth street, Manhattan, who effected
the cure. declared that Shutters all
ment probably was caused by ner-
vous shock, resulting from night
mare. The doctor examined the
mans throat and became convinced
that there was no organic disorder.
and that it was case of paralysis
due to shock. He decided, therefore,
that the case did not require the adj
ministering of medicine, but that
hypnotism would do more good, and,
accordingly, started to treat the case
along these lines.
After the first treatment, which
was about two months ago, Shutter
showed signs Of improvement, and
has been improving ever since, until
now he has practically the same pow
er of speech that he had before he
became afflicted. As far as tones and
infections are concerned, the case is
cured, but there still remains the
necessity of strengthening the vocal
cords, which have become, SO to
speak, rusty through nonuse.
