DETROIT. -- "Like being saved from drowning," is the phrase Mrs. Mary Gartner, Detroit stenographer, uses to describe her sensation on recovering the use of ber voice after four years of silence. Mrs. Gartner was the victim of a rare throat disease which resulted in displacement of her larynx-- the organ which produces vocal sounds. She says she lost her voice suddenly one day as she was reprimanding her husband, and for four yeers she was unable to speak above & faint whisper. After months of treatment, a Detroit specialist finally despaired of curing her, and suggested that she submit to treatment in a New York hospital. Doctors who examined her in New York were dubious at first, and {old her there had been few complete cures in such cases. Mrs. Gartner insisted on taking a chance, however, and the first step in her treatment was the making of phonograph records of her whispered voice. Doctors studied those records, and then determined upon an infinitesimal change in the position of her larynx. During the adjustment Mrs. Gartner kept talking--or rather whispering-- while her doctor sought the exact position to which the larynx should be moved. Suddenly, as the specialist worked, her voice changed from a faint whisper to the full tone of her normal speech. She was so delighted at being able to talk again, she says, that for the first few days she overworked her voice and it remained hoarse. Gradually, however, it cleared up, and now Mrs. Gartner's favorite pastime is talking. SLOCUM'S LAKE Mrs. Marlett Henry spent Monday and Tuesday at the borne of her p**- rats, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
