Wound Cured Stuttering.

The curious freaks the Mauser bullet has performed in its coursings through the systems of fighting Americans In the late war have resulted In some queer tales. The latest is the experience of Private H. E. Redmond, Company C, First Colorado Volunteer Infantry, who, when he enlisted, stuttered so badly that the recruiting officer came near leaving him off the rolls. Private Redmond was wounded In the battle of Marlqulna, on March 31. Now his wound Is healed and he stutters no mdre. A Mauser bullet struck him in the face, passed diagonally downward through his inouth, and made its exit near the back of the neck. It was considered a frightful wound by the surgeons, but Redmond proceeded to recover even faster than patients with less painful iiijuties, and when he was well his stuttering had left him.
