resolved to put on my sharpest wits and

the privilege Of using it. to cure whom
soever would = -5 !1<..5t< =. : - III -.

of MY Journal simple art which has en-
abled me to make veryhappy many un-

suit, but in three-fourths of the cases
which | have treated the cure has been
complete.
The secret is simply this: The STAN
merer is made to mark the time in his
speech, just as it is ordinarily done in
singing. He is at first to beat on every
syllable. 1t is best at the first lesson to
read simple composition, like one of Da-
vid's Psalms, striking the finger Oh the
knee at every word, then read in news
paper, beating each syllable. Soon you
need only beat on every word. .assf,.
You can beat time by striking the fin
