caption1 : Dr. Marage, a
well known
French physi-
cian, has been
asked by the
French Minister
of War to treat
soldiers who
have been deaf-
ened by the
explosions of
shells and gre-
nades. To the
right, Dr. Mar-
age is shown ex-
amining a sol-
dier to deter-
mine the extent
ofhisinjuries, the
first step toward
the restoration
of his hearing
caption2 : As shown at
the left, Dr.
Marage treats
deaf soldiers
by making
them listen to
the sounds
uttered by a
vowel-pro-
nouncing ma-
chine of his
own invention.
The vowels
are uttered
with an inten-
sity, duration
and quality
determined by
the bag of com-
pressed air in
the foreground
caption 3: Below, Dr. Marage's apparatus for treating deafened
soldiers. It is a mechanical mouth for uttering vowel
sounds. The inner ear is massaged by sound vibrations
for about two weeks. No less than sixty-eight per cent
of the soldiers treated are able to rejoin their regiments
