They Are Less self Conscious, So
They Blush Instead.


Have You ever known a woman that
stammercd?
The fact that the proportion Of those
afflicted with stammoring or suffering
is Il hundred men to one woman is one
of the most curious things in the sci
ence of pathology. Even the specialists
in nervous diseases seem utterly ut n
loss To account for it, SO eminent an
authority as DR. George f. Shrady, the
editor of the Medical Record, says that
in all his experience he has known of
only one woman that stammcrcd Ask
ed how he accounted for the immunity
of the fair sex from this atliction, he
replied.
1T certainly Is strange thing.
Stammering is an epileptic affection OF
the organs of speech, and the victim is
usually person of high strung. cX-
ctaDle temperament. At the last anal
ysis the cause lies in the mind that is,
the stammcrer stammers because he
fears he will stammer and thus make
himself ridiculous. Now, women are
much more prone than men to nervous
disorders, and this makes their immu-
nifty from stammering all the more re
markabe, For some mysterious reason
their nervousness affects their organs
