Ramu Nine-year-old found in the jungle weak and $11. Hist matted hair and emaciated body was criss-crossed with scars. Now he is being fed on cooked meat, porridge and fruit julees. He does not speak. He weeps and snarls, Sometimes he tries to bite the attendants.
He only shows interest when
ho is given raw meat-which he can smell before he sees it. He eats like a wolf, gnawing meat off the bone and swallowing it whole. He laps up water like a dog.
Evidently Ramu has never walked. The soles of his feet are DA soft as baby's. He moves around on elbows and knees. His Angers are claw-like. Ramus has been given massage. He can now straighten his right arm, but the loft is still flexed,
