Publisher's Synopsis
Mrs. Thorpe's book treats the subject of speech hesitation as a fault that is in practically all cases amenable to correction. So many of these cases seem hopeless and their infirmity inflicts such a degree of suffering that attention cannot be called too often to possibilities of cure under proper methods of respiratory regulation. Some of the cases that have been improved by the method suggested here are sufficiently striking to encourage further trials to cure no matter how hopeless the case may seem. There is, of course, a large personal element in any successful method of treating these cases, but valuable points can be gathered from others' experience by those who are interested in the subject and hence the usefulness of this manual.
