FINGER SURGERY
RESTORES SPEECH

Speech is being restored to those
apparently doomed to lifelong silence.
The startling statement was made at
the annual convention Of the New
York State Osteopathic society by DR..
Curtis H. Muncie of Brooklyn, who
reported the cure Of deaf mutes.
The doctor demonstrated this newly
discovered method Of procedure,
which is by means Of finger surgery.
The operation is performed under
laughing gas" the anesthesia which
is so commonly used by dentists dur
ing the extraction of teeth. The spec
ialist uses no instruments, the oper-
alton being done by the finger in the
nose and throat Of the patient.
DR.. Muncie explained that it had
been discovered that most cases OF
deafness are due to interference with
the ventilation of the internal ear
Such cases can be cured or helped but
he emphasized the fact that deafness
from other causes is not amenable to
this treatment.
There is a little air tube which con-
meets the inner ear with the throat,
which DR.. Muncie explained is dam
ming bit of evidence that man is some
what of a poor fish. In other words,
this tube is a rename showing the
evolutionary connection Of man with
the fish. 1t is the human vestige of
the gill.
Chronic nasal catarrh causes adhe-
sions to form about the throat end of
this tube These adhesions distort the
tube and prevent normal circulation
of air to the ear. The cure of this
form of deafness, therefore consist
of the removal of these adhesions
by the finger When these adhesions
have thus been removed, ventilation
is restored, and hearing restored.
