Dr. Andre, of this city, whose fortunate cures of three children born deaf and dumb we have already mentioned, has just operated with the same success on the son of M. Maurus, baker, at Bruges, aged 14 years. We find, in the Gazette of West Flanders, the details of this operation, which took place on the 26th of December, and for which the lad came to Brussels with his father.
The perforation of the left ear was effected in less than five minutes, and at the same moment the boy heard the ticking of a watch and the barking of a little dog. The operation of the other ear took nearly half an hour, because the lad, too deeply affected by his new sensation could scarcely contain himself.
