Description

thing that is said to him, and makes peculiar grunting noises in his 
efforts for speech. Could not learn to read and write, but is very 
deft with his fingers, weaving very rapidly intricate patterns, with 
colored worsteds.

ently healthy until one year old, when spasms developed, of which, 
however, there has been no recurrence. Father a farmer, slow of 
speech and action, was 37, and mother, who has a small goitre, was 
28 at time of child's birth. Both parents mentally below par.
