WIRELESS AIDS DEAF
Experiments May Mean Much 20
Those Who Cannot Hear.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
London, Feb. 2S.-Wireless tele.
phony has achieved another wonder,
made the deaf hear.
Inspired by the report that II
year-old man, deaf for 80 years, had
listened in successfully at a friends
home, scientists have conducted a
series of experiments at the Marconi
house, where Harry Shaver, age 10,
deaf from birth, heard music and the
human voice for the first time in his
life.
The boy was taken before loud
speaking device, over which fox trot
was transmitted He quickly caught
the beat. and to it patted his foot
rhythmically. Then n receiver was
placed to his ear and he heard "a voice.
1t was found he could hear through
one ear. but not the other. Two of
his companions from a deaf institu
ton were tested One heard the fox
trot; the other could hear nothing.
DIR. Macleod Yearsley, famous
aurol surgeon, said the fact that
Shaver heard through one ear but
could not through the other proved
that he possessed some remnant of
ability to catch sounds which the ord
mary tuning fork experiments would
never have revealed.
The most hopeful line of discoy-
cry" said DIR. Yearsley, lis that of
the possibility of re-educating the deaf
TO hear by means of wireless. The
cases of all deaf persons, however, are

ASK YOUR NE!GHBOU

There is hardly a neighborhool in
the United States where women can
not be found who have delivered bene-
fit from Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. For nearly fifty years
this botanic medicine has been over
coming some of the worst forms Of
female ills. As one woman has been
benefited by its use she has told
others who have used it with the
same good results; so the use of this
great medicine has spread from shore
to shore by the recommendation of
those who have found it good. There
fore, ask your neighbor; let her tell
you from experience the benefit which
ailing women derive from its use.
