Summary

News from Observer about a remarkable case of recovery of speech by Sergeant Harvey, of the Canadian Force, a patient in Bagthorpe Hospital, Nottingham, has come to light. He was seriously wounded in an exploration on the Western front about two months ago, and afterwards found himself without the power of articulation. He attended a picture house at Nottingham to see the films of the battle of the Somme, and relates that in a dream the same night he had a vivid impression of mine explosion. Next morning, upon awakening he discovered that he could articulate again.
