Notes of Cases from the Records of a Voice Hospital, Part 2

Abstract

"The Etude Magazine" would often use the literary style of causerie to deliver information. The author would create a fictional scenario to administer advice or share knowledge. One such approach was through a column entitled, “Notes of Cases From the Records of A Voice Hospital.” A fictional voice patient’s clinical scenario would be introduced, usually with enough information for the reader to suggest a diagnosis. The author explained the findings of their “examination,” offered a diagnosis, and recommended treatment.
