plete or partial loss of voice for
days and weeks at a time?
l don't know whether my COR
respondent wants me to express
an opinion about Mr.. Ace, or
not. Sudden complete loss of
voice which lasts for days or
weeks and then as suddenly re-
turns, raises a strong suspicion
of its being hysteria-hysterical
paralysis of the vocal cords. Mr..
Aces domestic difficulties indi-
cate to me that this Is exactly
the cause in his case.
Both the loss of the voice and
its return are the result OF
emotional shock in historical
paralysis.
Treatment is entirely by psy-
Geological methods.

spectators could have testified,
Jerry didn't seem TO be acting

Jerry's gorge rose, as a
drink came down, and the two

choked. His mounting ire
took another leap when a
bubbly young woman, about
40 pounds overweight, stopped
on her way 10 the telephone
booth and began cooing over
the beasts.
