Dr. Ward, of New York, says on this subject, of the many agents which have more or less influence on the voice the four principal are climate, drees, diet and exercise. Change of climate may cause some slight deleterious effect on the larynx, but this influence is greatly overestimated. The present fashionable style of dress is decidedly unhealthy.
