Deaf From Melon Seeds.

Williamsport, Pa.—Treating thir-teen-year-old Carolina Garrison for deafness. Dr. G. D. Nutt found two watermelon seeds in toe girl’s right ear and one in the left. They had evidently been there since she was a child, and likely stuffed there by herself, unnoticed by her parents. Her hearing now is normal.
