t off and let him work out his own salvation.
The instructor must be constantly at hand, giving advice, correcting
faulty articulation and constantly aiding the stammerer in a hundred
ways to route the malady.

After having been under treatment for seven days, the student is
subjected to his first treatment test. After passing this examination
satisfactorily, the student is assigned additional work from another
angle. Some students require as much as ten days to complete the work
necessary to pass this first test--in fact, it might also be said that
this test will determine the speed with which the student is to
progress. From this time until the completion of the course, additional
tests are given at various intervals, according to the needs of the
case, until the Final Cure Test proves that the malady has been
eradicated.

Conscious of the Improvement: The stammerer is profoundly conscious of
a distinct change for the better by the end of the very first day under
treatment. In other words, there is an immediate and noticeable
improvement, not only in his nervous condition, but also in his
physical and mental state as well.

Before the student passes from under the treatment, he is thoroughly
aware of the benefits which the work has brought about. For, after he
has met every progress test and has been examined on every phase and
every principle of speech, he passes to a rigid Final Test. In this
test, more than ever before, he finds the results of his efforts. He
discovers that he can use his speech in any way that he desires--in any
way that it will be necessary for him to use it in his future life. He
finds himself able to produce any sound--labial, dental, lingual, nasal
or palatal or any combination of these sounds in any language. He finds
every word now is an easy word, articulation is under perfect control
and the formation of voice a process involving no apparent mental
effort or physical contortions.

A young woman of 20 years was placed under my care by her mother. She
stammered very badly and at the time when her condition was at its
worst, found it almost impossible to make herself understood by any
means. After five weeks of careful instruction, this young woman had no
difficulty whatever in speaking, there was no "piling up of thoughts,"
as she expressed her former condition, and her articulation was
excellent. A few days after she returned home, she wrote as follows: "I
have been talking ever since
