CUBE FOR DEAFNESS.
Discussing cures of deafness made by broadcasting, Dr. G. A. Pfister, in the Sackbut, says that it is not universally known that for some time past deafness has been either cured or lessened by the scientific application of sounds to the ear. The discovery is due to M. l’Abbe Rousseloty Director of the Phonetic Institute in Paris. Most of the cases are people who have been deaf and dumb since birth, not shell shock or similar cases of temporary deafness. Dr. Pfister explains that Dr. Rousselot uses a set of large tuning forks set in front of a metal sound box and attached by rubber tubes to ear pieces. One note after another is transmitted to the patient until his expression shows that the sound has been heard. The same sound is produced for a short time every day and then gradually higher or lower sounds until the patient can hear them clearly.
