STUTTERING.
It has been maintained by a Get* man physician that stuttering consists in a rushing together of the consonants and consequently his method of treatment has for its object the teaching of the relative significance of the vowel and the consonant sounds. The patient is made to speak' sentences with prolonged vowels and short consonants, so tbat even at the first lesson many sentences are spoken' 'easily and fluently. The psychic effect is soon apparent, the patient regaining confidence in his ability to :speak plainly, and the result is excellent in a very short time. This method can also be employed with young children. Stuttering may be caused by the infectious diseases, in- ( jury to the head, imitation of other children, or by heredity. Its more frequent occurrence in males than in females is to be explained by the greater motility of all the voluntary. pnuscles in women than in men, the jtoagne included.
