Labouchcre tries it.—lt was, I con fess, -with profound BcopticUm that I placed the litllo Silver mouthpiece to my lips, and tlrow o. deep breath. . . . It was not unploasant,and I persovored, alternating eacb pull with a good gaap of common A IR to follow. I had previously bein acked ■ n- to say a sentonoe or two in my natural voice, and after two or three pulls at ths Ammoniaphone I was requested to repeat the same words without using NY extra exertion. I was really startled at the involuntary loudncss ot my own voice, and a friend who A CCOMPANIKD me, and who was a greater •**■ sceptic than myself, fairly burst out laugh ing at the result. T\R. CARTKIi MOFFAT smiled benignly, and •*■■' told mo he had now 30,000 persons using the Ammoniaphone with tho same results. D"R. CARTER MOFFAT'S AMMONIA PHONE will last for years. Should be used by Actors, Vocalists, Clergymon, Public Speokers, Parliamentary Men. Keaderß, Re citers, Lecturers, Leaders of Psalmody, School masters, Amateurs, Church Clioirs, Barristen. and all persons who have to use their voice* professionally, or who desire to greatly improve their speaking or singing tones, producing a rich, powerful, melodious voice ot extraordinary ringing clearness and range. A poor weak voice becomes rich and massive, whilo great good is done to the general health. Price, 90s. MDRRAY AND SPENCER, STATIONEKS AND RUBBKB STAMP MAKERS, ', 70, QUEBN-STREET.
