breathing, or disturbs sleep, or induces mouth-breathing, or otherwise interferes with some natural function. In case of serious interference with health, one or both may be extirpated. The operation on children is not attended with any bleeding of consequence. The bleeding in adults is easily controlled. A permanently enlarged tonsil has lost its glandular function, and is worthless. In cases where the operation must be performed, the removal is not, as popularly thought, and as once believed even by some physicians, usually followed by any serious consequences. Yet only a dangerous or worthless gland should be removed. Written for THE VOICE. M. T. N. A. PROGRAM FOR THE INDIANAPOLIS MEETING, JULY 5, 6, 7, AND 8, 1887.

STAMMERING AND ITS TREATMENT DISCUSSED BY A It would be impossible for me to do all the work, and so I have assistants.

"What references have you?" 'Stam "As good and as many as you want. I consider unprofessional to print them; no reputable physician does it. Most of my patrons are from the best classes of society, and would protest. That is why I have no sign STAMMERING 'on the building, which would keep many away, for stammerers are of fine, keen sensibilities and do not want to parade their infirmity, as they might it seen entering a mering Institute. My references are the best; I even have letters from colleges and physicians endorsing me, and am well known to business men, having lived in New York nearly all my life. Many of my former pupils are now filling important positions, which would be beyond their reach had they not first been freed from their speech-slavery." "Are special qualifications needed for a teacher ?" "Most assuredly. He must possess a rare combination of qualities, and, I may add, he must have been a stammerer himself, for only he who has passed through the ordeal can understand the nature and needs of such afflicted persons. That is why it is so difficult to find a satisfactory assistant. I have tried a number but found them incompetent. Some of these having only a smattering of my methods, are now trying to practice them, but it is needless to comment upon the results. Special preparation and long experience are necessary; and the treatment must be adapted to the needs of each person. Therefore, treatment by mail is not advisable. However, I hope to be able to give the readers of THE VOICE some of my views at an early day." "Have you many competitors?" "I do not consider that I have any; there are imitators; indeed, some of them have been with me at some time and have set up for themselves, but I disclaim having any connection with them, and do not wish to be held responsible for what they do, and sufferers from stammering can, as a rule, discriminate between those who are dependent upon profuse ad Gladly. I have no tricks, secrets, movements, jerkings or facial twists and contortions. My method is educational, based upon the laws of voice-production and articulation,-a training of body and mind. To the practical application of the discoveries made in vocal science I owe my success. The moment a person begins with me I stop the stammering, show the correct manner of using the organs, and at the very outset engraft upon the pupil an easy, natural way of talking. Sometimes silence for days is im-vertising for their existence and an established school which relies almost entirely upon its reputation." posed, the only use of the vocal organs allowed being Why are stammerers laughed at ?" the exercises in my presence. In nearly every instance I take away at once all inclination to stammer. Besides overcoming their impediment, my pupils improve in health by the respiratory and vocal gymnastics; the weakness and constriction that they have felt in their chests goes away, and they are greatly changed; they breathe better, eat better, sleep better and enjoy life much more. 'Can all stammerers be cured?" "There is not one in a thousand who cannot be cured. Malformation of the vocal organs is exceedingly rare, and only structural defect makes a cure impossible; yet even here the speech can be improved. One strange thing is that the great majority of stammerers are gentlemen, comparatively very few ladies being afflicted with fettered speech.' How long does the treatment take?" MR. LUNN'S EXPLANATION.

The human heart is full of sympathy, yet some most cruel wounds are unwittingly inflicted, mainly because people do not know what stammering is. I would like to enlarge upon this subject, but will now forbear, having been invited to deliver a course of lectures for the purpose of correcting some of the popular errors in regard to stammering, and to give hints how parents may care for the speech of their children, and prevent them from forming bad vocal habits. nearly all cases of stammering might be prevented or checked in their incipiency if parents and teachers would do the right thing at the right time.

FOR THE CURE OF HOARSENESS, SORE THROAT, BRONCHITIS, COUGH, AND OTHER DERANGEMENTS OF THE BREATH ING TUBES AND LUNGS. These are absolutely, the most pleasant and efficacious Pastilles yet introduced for the relief of the various disorders of the respiratory organs, induced by the changeableness of the climate. As the name implies, the principal ingredient of these Pastilles is Muriate of Ammonia, which is itself a valuable remedy for the cure of many bronchial affections, and is here associated with other medicines, having a powerful calmative influence over the mucous membrane of the respiratory tubes, thereby adding effectiveness to the Pastilles and extending their range of usefulness. Influenza, Hoarseness, Soreness of Throat, Or any irritation of the throat arising from cold, will almost invariably be relieved by the use of a few of the Tablets. For clearing and strengthening the voice, they will be found very serviceable. DIRECTIONS. Allow one of the Tablets at a time, to dissolve slowly in the mouth, taking from eight to twelve during twenty-four hours. The Spencer Chloramine Pastilles were largely prescribed by physicians, a few years since, in Philadelphia and vicinity, the speedy relief from their use giving them a greater popularity, wherever known, than any lozenge prepared for Coughs, Colds, Inflammation of the mucous membranes, etc., etc. Doctors and patients have united in commendation of their effect. In our judgment, the combination is an improveme :: upon the ingredients in Jackson's Ammonia Lozenges.

In fact, we think more highly of it, than any prescription known to us, our long experience making us familiar with the composition of all this class of remedies. We have no hesitation in endorsing it unreservedly, as likely to prove of more immediate benefit than any of the popular cough remedies, being free from any of the many objections attending the use or Syrups and Lozenges, that so often derange the digestive organs, nauseate, and destroy the appetite, the effect in these cases, being due, usually, to an excess of morphia, tartar emetic or both, doing harm rather than good. Owing to Mr. Spencer relinquishing the drug business, and the death of Mr. Lenher, we were induced to purchase the formula and right to manufacture, our appliances and experience enabling us to prepare these Pastilles, so as to prove more permanent, than when manufactured by former proprietors.

We teach the pupil a different method of respiration, of sound-production, and of utilizing his voice in articulation, which, when acquired and practised, renders stammering well-nigh impossible. The new habit-correct speech-takes the place of the old habit-stammering. [From ex-Surgeon General Hammond.] 43 WEST 54TH ST., NEW YORK, Dec. 26, 1886. I have referred many cases of stammering to Mr. I. R. Aldrich and he has never failed to cure a single one. I have received letters from them from various parts of the country; all expressing their thanks for the complete relief that Mr. Aldrich has afforded them. Some of these cases have been exceedingly bad, but he has cured them with apparently as much ease as the slighter ones. I have every confidence, therefore, in his ability to successfully manage any case of stammering or stuttering that may be placed under his charge. WILLIAM A.
