ing successfully on
the lines laid down in your late husband's publications and his own
"Voice Training Exercises;" and have put into the hands of some of my
pupils your "Voice Training Primer." One of them has just passed Trinity
College Senior Singing Examination with honours (84 marks out of 100).
My own experience is that no exercises I have ever used have so helped
to produce "forward" and to cure "throaty" tone, and I have long felt I
owed to Mr. Behnke a debt of gratitude for his works. May I be permitted
to acknowledge it to you?

THE TIMES.
Pre-eminent success in the education and treatment of stammering and
other speech defects.
THE BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL.
DR. F. L. NICHOLLS writes:--"This infirmity is so great a drawback to
almost every walk in life, and for public speaking so complete a
hindrance, that a cure is of the utmost importance. It may therefore be
of interest, and possibly of some use to members of the medical
profession having a case of this nature in their practice, and desiring
assistance for its cure, if I mention that I have recently had the most
satisfactory experience of the cure of such a case. The father, a
minister, was very anxious for his son to follow in his own footsteps,
while the lad stuttered so badly it was not to be thought of, unless a
cure could be effected; and for this purpose he was sent to Mrs. Behnke,
of Earl's Court Square, London. Mrs. Behnke was chosen from high
recommendations, and very thoroughly has she proved worthy of them. The
lad has just returned home, and speaks without the slightest impediment.
I should state that previously to going under Mrs. Behnke's hands we had
tried various rules and recommendations without the least success."

therein were more generally observed, we should have not only
