STAMMERiNG.-We noticed some days
ago the advertisement Of Mrs. Leigh, 20
Gold street, who proposed to cure impedi-
mcnts Of speech, or stammering, a most
painful and unpleasant atiction; and i'll
proof ofthe efficacy other system, we have
, witnessed an extraordinaryin instance OF cure.
+ A youHp gentleman arrived in this city on
Thursday from Fredericksburg, Va. sent
by his parents to be cured of most obsti-
nate stammering. He called on mrs. Leigh
: on Friday, and OH Saturday, remained five
! five hours with her, taking the usual les
! sons-his speech is now clear, smooth, and
. free from the least impediment. Hc assur-
ed us that he could not read, and could
scarcely speak, from cultural difficulty and
spasmod;c affection. lie could not utter
his name to he placed on the way-b.ll, and
was compelled to point TO il on his trunk
, he now reads fluen;ly, and speaks wlthor'
hesitation, and after u few hoursinstrur. ion
We also conversed with two lo', ice \cb,
had been relieved from siw',.a ar sdiic,iou
in eight or ten days practice, and who's,
speech was free from .myednncnt.
Such well attes'cd cases should be mad,
publicly known for the benefit Of the man,
ladies apI gentlemen, who are deprived o
= the Charms OF conversation, or injured II
I. Business, by such painful distractions. NJ
time should be lost in applying to this lady
,who is well iniormc. and respectable.
