So if I were forced, however, to choose one term from all these, my choice would be "Visual Centre Asthenia." This indicates a new and rational treatment. But of this later. SUMMARY: Psychoanalysis reveals stuttering as some vague trouble in the personality . Psychological Analysis shows stuttering is an absent or weak visualization at the time of speech.
It may arise from Anæmia, or deficiency of blood due to hæmorrhage, such as occurs in injuries, or from bleeding from the lungs, stomach, uterus, or other internal organs. Asthenia, or failure of the heart's action, met with in starvation, in exhausting diseases, such as phthisis, cancer, pernicious anæmia, and Bright's disease, and in some cases of poisoning for example, aconite.
Our data above has shown us that the location of the trouble is visual; that is, it is situated about a centre of sensory registration that deposits data from the eye; this must naturally then be located somewhere in or near the cuneus. We could therefore add to the terminology this idea of a minute localization and call it a Centre Asthenia.
This new concept of stuttering as faulty visualization may be called Visual Centre Asthenia. This lack or weakness in visualization accounts for all the numerous phenomena of stuttering in severe, medium, or mild cases. A new treatment is indicated.

I doubt whether there is any marked pathological change, since the individual may be educated out of it; but this does not necessarily follow as proven with my dog in Berlin. As a general designation, then, I should consider Asthenia as apropos. One objection to this is that the weakness is by this terminology lacking in localization.
"Cardiac asthenia heart failure," said Dr. Upton, abruptly. Kitty threw herself upon Cadge, kissing her convulsively, while Mr. Winship persisted: "Sis was first-rate yist'day; w'at fetched the attack on?" As gently as Cadge herself, Dr. Upton answered: "Mr. Winship, your daughter wasn't so strong as she seemed. There was much in her condition to cause anxiety.
