THE STORY OF | THE DISCOVERY That Restores the Lost Hearing Told by Doctor McCoy Himself. The Very Errors of the Harsh Methods Ear Doctors in Using Was a Stepping Stone to This Revelation. (From the Second Paper on Deafness.) Whea I mae known my treatment it was con- Joctors because tt had no cutting, prving ng In it. Even though the old-time Taet beds: ting ear troubles did so little good, It had been the practice of the ear doctors who used the metheds to excuse themselyes by saying that im the cases when they failed nothing could be done Tt was along tn 1888, while studying and improv- ing on my methods of treating diseases of the throat, that I made a startling discovery as to diseases of the throat, and this I realized had an important bearing on the cure of Déafness. I knew that if what I surmised was true there was still a chance of benefiting these who were Deaf. I went to work on this basis and labored from 1883 to 1894, trying to demonstrate what I had suspected was true, but for a iong thme no good came of my efforts. I became discouraged again and was about to give up my labors in the field of Deafness en- Urely when an acel begin all over again. The Errors of Ear Doctors. In my efforts to prove my New Discovery of value I had into the errors I had been taught by the great ear doctors, and had applied ment by the same forelble means that were fo generally in use at the time. It was the thought that the oll methods might be wrong that showed me wher failure lay, and the possibility of the to method of Its application > try all over again.

Under the ration I used I saw the Imprisoned sense of sound beginning to free Itself. I saw deaf ears casting off the shackles of Deafness. It vas along in 1894 that I fist began to see good coming from my efforts, when I first began my experiments that were finally successful. The First Three Cases. I had but three cases of Deafness visiting my offices, but of these three, two were people of great good sense, who had plenty of confidence In my ability as a physician. I explained to these people what I eought for, and they helped me all they could. They visited me as often as I asked, and kept up the treatment week after week. I felt satisfied all along that if a plan of treatment ever was developed that would restore lost hearing that such a treatment «vould take time, so I per- sisted in my efforts, and did not see benefit coming at once. It only took three months to prove that I was on the right track at last, for in that time one of my patients, who had been very deaf for twenty years, and who had suffered all along with dreadful noises in the ears, came to see me one day with the information that the noises had all disappeared, and in three months more the treatment had entirely iestored the lost hearing. In one month following this my second case of Deafness was entirely cured. ‘The thied patient became tired of the treatment, having seen no good from its use, and left. The Cure of a Deaf Mute. I had seen enough, however, to pay for all the time I had spent in investigating the subject of Deafness. I knew it was no accident or luck that caused these cures. At one bound I was changed irom a skeptic as to the cure of Deafness into an enthusiast on the cure. I realized that I had done more in curing these two patients than I had seen accomplished during all the perlod of my study into the nature of ear diseases. I knew that the cure of even one case of long-standing Deafness and long-standing noises in the head was a triumph to be proud of. Lat once sought for Deaf people, and I found I could give the majority of all such per- sons not oyly value for the money they paid me, but many times its value, So, from the early part of 1895 until the present I have gone on applying this treatment, improving it Uttle by Ittle, making it wore and more perfect, curing people who were stone deaf, curing those who suffered from ringing noises in the head, and, as a fitting climax to my efforts, there has lately come a cure from the use of the treatment of a Deaf Mute, a young man born deaf, who has been so thoroughly improved that he can hear ordinary conversation, and, bearing conversa- tiow, he is beginning to talk.

I had been deaf since I was twelve years old. My deafness resulted from measies. In school I had to be given a front seat in order to be able to heer the teacher. When my hearing returned it returned suddenly. The first sound that I heanl with my right ear, the | first sound that I ever remember to bave heard with it, was the clock ticking while lying im bed, with my left ewr, the eur on which I had always been obliged to depend, pressed against the pillow. I got out of bed and tested my hearing with my wateb, and I found that I could hear it tick dis- tinetly. Then all sounds came to me as clearly and distinctly with my right ear, the one that had been totally deaf. as with my left ear. “My hearing has been perfectly restored. I have not the siightest-dificulty in understanding every- thing that is said and hearing every sound.” RESTORING HEARING LOST IN INFANCY. | Gee fe | my dexfness increased, and CLERK SHERWOOD WAS DEAF TWENTY YEARS.

Hiram Devers, 614 Maryland avenue s.w.: “I was absolutely stone deaf in my right car when I went to Doctors McCoy and Cowden,and they have restored my hearing completely. I had been deaf since last fall. I caught a heavy cold, and from it the deafness in my right ear resulted. I could not hear anything, not a sound, not a word, if my left ear was closed, and I had constant notses in my head Ike the buzzing of insects or the hum- ting of bees. My ear never pained me, but there Was 2 disagreeable stopped-up sensation, and that side of my head always had a numb, dead feeling. I went to Doctor McCoy after reading of his nn- merous cures. My hearing came to me suddenly. ‘There was no apparent change in my condition unt{l this morning, then suddenly after the doctor got through treating me my head became clear, the noises stopped. and, holding my watch to my right ear, I heard it ticking plainly.

GREAT ENTHUSIASM So far as_the National ‘Association of Democratic Clubs is concerned—and if the enthusiasm and earnestness of leading and influential democrats not connected with that organization may be taken as an in- dication so far as the democracy as an en- tirety 1s concerned—the issue upon which that party will go before the people with its candidates in 1900 wil be the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and its standard-bearer will again be William Jennings Bryan. < These facts were developed, enlarged up- on and emphasized with strong and unmis- takable accent at the banquet at the Metropolitan Hotel Jast night in honor of the one hundred and fifty-fourth anniver- sary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, the Sage of Monticello and the founder of the democratic party. The banquet was given under the auspices of the National Asso- ciation of Democratic Clubs, and the guest of honor was William Jennings Bryan. The reverence paid to the memory of Jef- ferson was pronounced; the homage paid to Bryan was even more profound. Every word that fell from the lips of the hand- some young Nebraskan during his speech upon the character and works of Jefferson was listened to with tense ears, and be- tween his periods there was not a sound to interrupt the even flow of his language. When he reached a pause, however, the pent-up interest of his hearers broke forth in enthusiastic applause. Cheers followed cheers, and the plaudits were accompanied by the waving of napkins and handker- chiefs by old and young alike, who forgot for the moment the dignities of such an oc- casion, and lost all restraint in their desire to show their approval of the man before ‘them and the principles he represented. When the guests began to assemble in the parlors of the hotel the conversation Was all of Bryan. The motive of the oc- casion that drew them together seemed to be hidden behind the personality of the man who was to treat of it. When Bryan arrived he was at once surrcunded by a crowd eager to shake his hund and hear his voice; the galleries above the recep- tion hall were fringed deep with women who looked down and waved their hand- kerchiefs, and every face showed the pleasure its possessor felt. No observer could have failed to have been struck with the remarkable influence the Nebraskan exons) on those who come in contact with him. Scene at the Banquet. The banquet hall was tastefully deco- rated. Three long tables stretched from end to end. A smaller table across the east end of the room was occupied by the ‘flistinguished guests who were to partici- pate in the speech making. At the western end of the room was an orchestra that dis- coursed familiar southern airs and other appropriate selections during the evening. Ex-Governor Chauncey F. Black of Penn- sylvania, the president of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, presided. Mr. Bryan sat upon his right and Repre- sentative Richard P. Bland of Missouri upen his left. To the right of Mr. Bryan was Representative Benton McMillin of Ter.nessee, who was the toastmaster. Over two hundred guests were seated when Mr. Bryan entered the banquet rocm. He was greeted with a salvo of cheers, all the guests rising and waving their napkins and handkerchiefs in eager welcome. Dur- ing the repast the orchestra played at intervals. There was applause when “Dix- fe" was rendered, but it was nothing to the greeting with which “My Old Ken- tucky Home’ was received. Probably a fourth of the guests joined in singing the familiar song, and between air and cho- rus there were frequent cries of ‘Hurrah for Blackburn,” while one or two uncom- plimentary allusions to ex-Secretary Cai lisle were overheard. ‘Tasteful Menas. The menus were very tastefully got up. On the first page was an engraving of a full-faced portrait of Thomes Jefferson, with a fac-simile of his autograph beneath it, the date of his birth and the present year. A quotation from one of his fa- mous utterances was printed across the top of the page. The second page was de- voted to the menu, which was nearly an exact reproduction of the first dinner given in honor of Jefferson's birthday, which was held at the Indian Queen Tavern, which cccupied the present site of the Metropoli- tan Hotel, sixty-seven years ago last night. A picture of the ol@ tavern which was used on the stationery of the hotel at that ume decorated the top of the page. The menu was printed in English and the .7ines were American, the claret having been made from grapes grown on the spurs of Monticello, on vines which are the result of the vines sent from France by Jefferson when he wae minister to that country. The champagne was also an American vintage. The menu comprised gumbo soup, corn pone, fried chicken, terrapin in Maryland style and various other good things. The toast Hst occupied the third page of the menu pamphlet, and the other pages were devoted to the list of the officers of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, its principles, the committees having the dinner in charge and the musical program. When coffee was served President Black welcomed the guests and called attention to the fact that on the very spot where they had assembled, and on a similar occa- sion, Andrew Jackson had delivered the im- mortal toast, “The Union, It Must and Bhall Be Preserved.” Loud applause fol- lowed this announcement, which increased @ moment later to @ demonstration when Mr. Black said that he would not have the hardihood to stand for a minute and a quarter between a gathering like that be- fore him and William Jennings Bryan. Toast Master McMillin’s Words. Representative Benton McMillin was in- troduced as toastmaster and made a speech which inspired the greatest enthusiasm on the part of the guests. After declaring that Thomas Jefferson was the greatest con- structive statesman and the grandest po- litical philosopher and prophet that the world had ever seen, he turned to Mr. Bryan and paid an eloquent tribute to him as one of the greatest expounders of the principles Jefferson enunciated. Mr. Bryan, said Mr. McMillin, had the intelligence to understand those principles, the courage to advocate them and the eloquence to pro- Claim them that was not surpassed by any other man of his time. At this the guests arose en masse and cheered until hoarse. Mr. McMillin, when allowed to proceed, re- cited how Mr: Bryan had been chosen to represent the party of Jefferson for the presidency, and dwelt upon the gratifica- tion democrats had of knowing that, though defeated, the splendor of his campaign, the truth of the cause he advocated was such that his party was stronger the day after defeat than the day before, and was now ready and anxious for the day to come, which was inevitable, when success will crown its exertions and the principles of Jefferson again control the government. ‘He therefore proposed the toast, “Thomas Jefferson,” and called upon Mr. Bryan to Tespond. Mr. Bryan’s Speech. It was some moments before he could proceed, but finally, with a knife for a batoh, he waved the gathering into silence ard stood erect before it. He bore marks of the recent accident which happened to him in St. Augustine, and the lower lid of his right eye was badly discolored from the effect of. the fall he received there. Mr. ‘Bryan said that the celebration of the an- n:versary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson ‘was not in the spirit of idolatry, but from regard and reverence for his litical prin- ciples. They were oe mas Jef- ferson, but their attachment for him was itical rather than He was not jomas Jefferson, the creature of flesh and blood, but Jefferson the ‘3 Bot THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1897-16 PAGES. strain did Mr. B: Pay tribute to the qualities of the author of j= ration of than any “has '$h}" principles which: un- derlie our form of gpyernment, he had such an absolute human na- ture that he understoéd the points of weak- religious or political, he laid down a rule, the observatice of which will purge tection “and. cate avery political cot, perfection “and ‘ every political whether it finds urcee in the legisla- ture, in the @ or in the judiciary. Continuing, Mr. Bryam said the democratic party. was strong just in the proportion as It proves true to ihe teachings of Jefferson, and it was its duty.to,crystallize into legis- lation the principies: which he taught. Events make political issues, said Mr. Bryan, further on,’ and the democratic party applied democratic principles to the issues which might arise from time to time. For many years the tariff question Was the paramount issue, and the party took a more advanced position each year until 1892, when it declared itself in favor of a policy which meant a tariff for reve- nue only. But the President elected'at that time, instead of proceeding to carry out that portion of the platform, forced upon Public attention an issue which had. up to that time been considered secondary. Mr. Cleveland, more than any other person in this nation, was responsible for the promi- nent position which the money question now: occupies. It was his determination to complete the demonetization of silver and make the gold standard perpetual. That aroused the masses of the United States to active resistance. The struggle for su- Premacy between the gold standard and bi- Mettalism was recognized a contest be- tween the money power and the common people. Necessities That Were Met. The explicit declaration in favor of free and unlimited coinage at 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation, said Mr. Bryan, was made neces- sary by the attempt of certain public men to evade preceding platform. The party struggle, which culminated In the Chicago convention, of necessity alienated a por- tion of the party. The party was placed in the position where it was compelled to indorse the financial policy of the Presi- dent or adhere to the doctrines and tra- ditions of the party. The position taken by the democratic party in 1896 will not be surrendered. If you doubt the perma- nency of the Chicago platform as a party creed, go among the rank and file of the party and measure the zeal and enthusiasm which that platform has aroused, and you will realize the impossibility of taking a backward step. Approval of Bailey's Policy. It was true, the present administration is seeking to turn public attention to the tariff question, but if our reasoning is well founded, said Mr. Bryan, an increase of texes cannot restore prosperity to the pro- ducers of wealth. If the Dingley bill brings general and permanent prosperity, the democratic party will not be in a position to win a contest by opposing it. If, on the other hand, the Dingley bill proves a dis- appointment to those who advocate it, our position of 1896 will be strengthened and Dublic attention will be riveted upon the fact that the cause of financial depression is to be found in our monetary system. There is much in-recent events to en- courage the followers of Thomas Jefferson, continued Mr. Bryan. The spring elections indicate a growing sentiment along the lines of the Chicago platform. In fact, the elections which have taken place show so great a gain that the republican party may now be considered a minority party. It has but one hope of escape from the wrath to come, and that is to secure bi- metallism by international agreement be- fore the people of the nation have another opportunity to spéak ‘at the polls. Those who believed in independent bimetallism generally, and regard an_ international agreement as neither necessary nor pos- sible, may well hope for success to any who may make the attempt to secure for- eign assistance. “If oux opponents succeed in opening the mints of other nations, as well as their own mints,” he declared, “we shall rejoice, because. the condition of the people will be improyed, and they will be able to proceed with other remedial legis- lation. If, however, the republican party, after pledging itself’ to secure international bimetallism, finds it ‘{mpossible to fulfill that pledge, its expressed preference for a double standard will rise up to condemn it if It attempts to'continue longer the evils of the gold standard.” A Compliment to a Cartoonist. In conclusion Mr. Bryan urged democrats to strongly support democratic newspapers, ard, in referring to the attitude of the Americen press in the last campaign, he took occasion to pay a high compliment to Mr. Hcmer Davenport, the caricaturist of the New York Journal, who was present at the banquct and seated a short distance away from the speaker. He said he was giad there was present the king of cartoon- ists, who gave his services to the prince of journalists. There were cries of three cheers for Davenport, and the blushing artist seemed covered with confusion as the gathering responded to the suggestion. Chairman Jones’ Remarks. When Mr. Bryan concluded the assem- blage arcse to its feet again and cheered until it could cheer no longer. When order was finally restored, Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the na- tional democratic committee, was intro- duced. He replied to the toast “The Diffu- sion of Information and the Arraignment of All Abuses at the Bar of Public Rea- son,” and said that in the recent great contest the democratic party had insisted on the restoration of the coinage laws which had been in existence when the coun- try was prosperous and when it had made its marvelous growth; but that the mem- bers of the party had been called revolu- tionists for doing so; When they urged that a standard of value which was hourly increasing in value and decreasing the value of property and of product and of labor, was unjust, unwise and improper, they ‘were called anarchists and repudia- tionists. He referred to the visit of Mr. Bryan to Yale, where he went to give in words of truth and soberness the reason for the faith that was in him and to tell why the laws made by Washington and Jefferson and lived under by Jackson and Lincoln, should be restored to the statute book, and said he was irsulted and reviled, and that this occurred in New England, where in the healthier and better days of the republic men were willing to die for the right of free speech. In conclusion Senator Jones said that democracy believed that a return to the laws under which the country grew and flourished would start the Union anew on the high road to prosperity and happi- ness, The true and only hope of a republic was in the political creed which demands equal and exact justice to all and special privileges to none. Senator Faulkner of West Virginia was to have responded to the toast “Absolute Acquiescence in the Decision of the Major- ity the Vital Principle #f Republics.” He had been unavoidably called out of the city during the day, however, and was not present. Fete “Silver Dick” Bland ‘Warmly Greeted. Representative Richard. P. Bland of Mis- sourl was introduced to #nswer to the toast “Equal and Exact,Justice to All Men, of Whatever State or Pursiusion, Religious or Political.” He was,grepted with great ‘ap- plause and shoutst of “Silver Dick” - and similar greeting. made a brief but impressive ad },on the text which was placed in hig, keeping. No govern- ment, he declared,: coulé retain the confi- dence of the people.which disregarded giv- ing equal and exact justice to all men be- fore the law. There’ wis no danger to be felt about the future of the country if its press and its people were honest, and he declared that the iaeratic party would be sure of the suppért-of' the gteat mass of the American people'as long as it followed the principles laid down by Thi son. iomas Jeffer- An Eloquent’ Address." Mr. Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsylvania an- swered the toast, “The Declaration of In- dependence—an enduring monument to that devotion of liberty and abhorrence of tyr- rany which stamps the character and mark the whole course'of the life of its author.” striking 13 mands of the absorbing few and believed = heth th ee robed = mae evenly w! er they in or clad in rags. The principles of Petlerson should be made, he declared, as the foun- dation store of the democracy so patriotic as to be revered by all who lovetl justice nd hated by all whose deeds were evil. He declared that the democracy would go forth in 1900 as bright as the sun and a& terrible as an army with banners. When he had conciuded some one called for three cheers for Mr. Sibley, the next Vice Presi- dent of the United States, and when they were given, another cried that he would be made governor of Pennsylvania first, a sen- timent that was also loudly appiauded. The Monroe Doctrine Expounded._ John J. Lentz of Ohio answered the toast, “Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.” He said it should be the unfalter- ing determination of Americans to hold separate.and apart the North American and South American continents for experiments of government by the people for the peo- ple. It was undeniable that the monarchies of Europe and Asia desired to see this fail, but upon its success no honest-hearted man would ever have a doubt. Preachers might advise that swords and spears should be beaten into pruning hooks and plow shares, but their hopes would never be realized s0 long as a single monarchy existed, whether that monarchy be one of political or one of pecuniary power. George Fred Will! Mr. Andrew J. Lipscomb was to have re- sponded to the toast, “An aristicrary of wealth is of more harm and danger than benefit to society,” but he was unavoid- ably absent. There were cries of Bailey and Williams, and Chairman Black had to rap for order, finally securing it by calling on Mr. George Fred Williams of Massachu- setts, who said he brought the greetings of the Massachusetts democrats, who were gathered in old Faneuil Hall a: that mo- ment. It was demonstrated in the last campaign, he declared, that wealth did not understand its obiigaticns to mankind.’ It should not be the purpose to limit the ac- cumulation of wealth, but the toll gates that have been placed in the path of pov- erty traveling toward ccmfort should be struck down. In conclusion he assured his hearers that the grip of gold in New Eng- land was broken and that she was as strong in the new democracy as Arkansas or Mis- souri. Sulzer Creates Enthusiasm. Representative William Sulzer of New York answered the toast, “A jealous care of the right of elections by the people; a mild and safe corrective of those abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolu- ticn in countries where peaceable remedies are unprovided.” He asserted that if the majority had ruled last year that William J. Bryan would be in the White House to- day, and declared that the will of the peo- ple had been defeated by the gross use of money. It could not- be done, however, again. The first time Jefferson and. Jack- son ran for the presidency they got beat. The same was the case with Bryan. The next time, he said, that Jefferson and Jack- son ran, they were elected, and this will be the same way with Bryan. This was re- ceived with tumultuous applause by the fathering. He said that the standard of Bryan was gaining support every day, and it was only a question of educating the people, and that ultimately right and jus- tice would prevail under the banner of Bryan and Thomas Jefferson. In conclu- sion, Mr. Sulzer declared that the democ- racy had carried-Ohio, Indiana and Califor- nia last year, but that the baliot had been corrupted, and said that whenever the sanctity could be thus violated American institutions were in danger. During Mr. Sulzer’s speech a telegram was read stat- ing that Hobartville, N. J., had gone demo- cratic, and that a democratic mayor had been elected in Paterson, N. J., by 250 majority. There was more cheering at this, and it was difficult to calm the enthusiasm of the crowd. A resolution was offered by Dr.Livingston of Georgia expressing the deep sympathy of the gathering with Mr. Lawrence Gardner, whose aged mother was at the point of death, and who was an attendant at her bedside. The resolution was unanimously adopted with many evidences of the deep feeling of the gentlemen compcsing the as- semblage. The Closing Incidents. Toastmaster McMillin announced that Mr. Bryan would propose a closing toast, which would be drunk standing, and Mr. Bryan proposed the memory of Andrew Jackson, “The most courageous defender of the principles of Thomas Jefferson.” Toast- master McMillin then paid a high tribute to Representative Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, and asked him to respond to the toast. The leader of the democratic minority in the House did not attempt to make a speech, but called upon the guests to rise ‘and drink not only to Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson, but, and his voice rang clear and resonant, “to the man who best today de- fends the matchless princlples of true democracy. I propose, gentlemen, a toast to the memory of Jackson and Jefferson and the health of William Jennings Bryan.” ‘Those whose throats were in a condition to applaud this sentiment, after the constant exercises they had been given during the evening of a vociferous character, shouted with all their strength. The banquet came to a close with the singing of the “Jeffer- sonian Banner,” the campaign song that was popular last year, and which was writ- ten by Mr. W. D. Whalen of this city. One of the features of the evening was tne hearty greetings Representative Amos J. Cummings of New York received as the next mayor of Greater New York. Who Were There.
