STAMMERING REMOVED ON EXPERIMENTAL
AND SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES.
MR. STAFFORD begs most respectfully to announce to
the Nobility, Gentry, Merchants, and the Public ge-
nerally, that he purposes making a short professional stay in
LIVERPOOL. Mr. S. natters himself that the celebrity
which he acquired during his former residence in this town,
together with his personal and
practical experience during
the last TWENTY YEARS,wiII justify him in asserting, that
he will not undertake any case where success may appear
doubtful, of which he can determine at the first interview.
Operations and medicine ought to be strictly avoided, where
there is no organic defect.
Mr. Stafford's references are of the highest eeve,
