found may sometimes be got rid of in
simple way. A correspondent writes
to the Boston Transcript: II cured
myself of an annoying habit of stam-

allowing myself to speak unless the
lungs were fully inflated. A little
careful attention soon made the prac-
tice habit, and now l never stammer
unless much excited"
