re attitude and haughty sneer,
laughs in the face of experience and insists that "it will not bother
him." To such as these, no hope can be held out. Such tactics leave
both body and mind in a condition that does not permit of up-building.
There is little foundation for any effort and with the passing of each
day, there is a tearing-out of bodily and mental vigor that makes all
effort useless.

But in the average individual, physical rebuilding is a process of but
a few weeks. The mental rehabilitation can usually be accomplished in
an equally short period of time and when these things have been brought
about, perfect speech soon follows if the correct methods are applied.

CHAPTER VII

THE BOGUE UNIT METHOD DESCRIBED

At the time a stammerer or stutterer first places himself under my care
and before any attempt is made to apply the treatment, he is given a
very thorough and searching examination for the purpose of learning the
exact nature of his difficulty. It must be remembered that no two cases
of stammering or stuttering are exactly alike and that no two cases
require exactly the same method of treatment, although the same basic
principles apply to all.

Even if the stammerer's case has been previously diagnosed by me, it is
necessary to compare and verify the symptoms as previously exhibited
with those existing at the time of his beginning treatment, in order to
learn, first of all, whether his malady has more recently progressed
into a further and more serious stage.

The Bogue Test: If the usual entrance examination does not bring out
all of the essential facts regarding the case, the stammerer is then
put through the Bogue Test--an original system of diagnosis which I
perfected some years ago--by means of which the peculiarities of the
trouble are brought out, the NORMAL, the SUBNORMAL and the ABNORMAL
condition of the disorder is gauged and the most minute details of the
trouble are disclosed. This Bogue Test covers the case from every
possible angle. It lays bare the exact physical, mental and nervous
condition of the stammerer or stutterer, enables me to determine the
original cause of the trouble and to follow its progress from the first
up to the present time, almost as easily as if the student had been
under my observation ever since he first noticed his defect of speech.

I recall the case of a boy who came to me at one time for a personal
diagnosis of his case. I examined him carefully,
