Stammering
O. My son, years old, has a STAN
mer in his speech which worries me
/ have tried every possible way to
help him to overcome 1t. L have car
ried him to different specialists and
have never gotten any satisfaction
from them.
A. If there is any defect in the
teeth. lips, tongue or palate this should
be corrected. Apart from this he should
have systematic training under a com

A Scarlet fever is frequently fol-
lowed by an inflammation of the mid

his attack of scarlet fever. This way
lead to more or less loss of hearing in

gard to my little son, years old. He
| is continually having tonsilitis.
A. II your son has repeated attacks
of tonsilitis, I should advise you to
have the tonsils examined with view
to their removal, especially il he has
ever had rheumatism, growing pains or
