His Case Puzzles Doctors.
W. H. Hilton, living near Crane, Mo., lost his voice two years ago from the effects of a severe case of whooping cough. The singular feature of Mr. Hilton’s affliction is that he can speak audibly to dumb animals on his farm in as clear a voice as he ever could, but can only whisper when he attempts to speak to persons. Mr. Hilton’s health is excellent, and his strange affliction has puzzled physicians from many parts of the State. He is sixty-five years old.
