STAMMERING.
A gentleman who has stammered from his boyhood writes as follows : “No •B‘ammering person ever found any difficulty da singing. The reason of this is that observing .the measure of the music; by keeping time the organs of speech are kept in ■such position that enunciation is easy. Apply the same .rule to reading or speech 'and the same result will follow. Let the stammerer a sentence—say, this one[: 1 Leander swam the Hellespont.’ Pronounce it by syllables occupying the same time, thus : ‘ Le-au-der-awam-the-HeJ-les-pout,’ and he will be surprised to find that by a little practice he will read without "-stammering, and nearly as rapidly as persona ordinarily talk or read. Then practice this in reading and conversation until the habit is broken up. Perseverance is all that is necessary to effect a perfect cure.”
