When Helen was 6 years old her parents took her to Baltimore and then to Washington to famous doctors to find out if they could do something to make her hear and see again, but the doctors could do nothing. She could not hear what was said to her and did not know how to talk, she was unable to play with other children. The little child was now doomed to a life of silence and darkness. For days she was laid up with a high fever and soon the parents learned that their darling would never be able to see and hear.
