1. ACL (?): You are now asleep and will be able to tell us what we want to know. You have before you the body of [294]; he is before you now.
2. EC: [294], yes we have had him before. [No copy of earlier rdgs.]
3. (Q) Examine his throat and tell us what is the matter with it, if anything. (A) The muscles of the vocal cords here, you see, produce a partial paralysis to the vocal chord, especially to the left side of the vocal box. You see the chords here are taut from the box or sound here, as the air is expelled from the lungs and drove in and thrown out. We have a nervous effect of the nerves and muscles all over the whole body; we have a tightening or a sensation in the nerve force to contract it and of the muscles of the vocal chord or box here. We have caused, all along in the front part of the body along the larynx to the vocal chord, to the right end here in front, as this muscle is taut then the voice sounds as if it is loose here or not contracted by the nerve forces and muscles; together this leaves one side that does not sound and produces a whispering sound. This comes from the same trouble we have had before from the pelvis.
4. (Q) What will we do to remove that now? (A) Just circulation here will remove it; that is the only thing that will do it. From suggestion to the body forces the circulation through it here and as the circulation passes along it takes that away; puts new life to it; makes the supply to the nerve force go, you see.
5. (Q) Increase the circulation and watch that and see the condition removed; that congested condition. Increase the circulation; is that removing now? (A) Circulation is beginning to increase.
6. (Q) Watch it increase now; watch that remove. All that congested condition will be removed away by the circulation. Passing off now, is it not?

(A) Passing off now.
7. (Q) Watch it move clear on; it will become normal, will be in its normal condition. Watch it now and when that becomes perfectly normal tell us. (A) Have to remove the trouble first.
8. (Q) What is the trouble now? You see the trouble is away. Now the trouble is gone. Now the vocal chords are perfectly normal, are they not? (A) They are perfectly normal now.
9. (Q) That is alright now. They will continue to work perfectly. Now at times in the past, he has suffered with severe headaches; what causes that headache? (A) In the pelvis.
10. (Q) How will we remove that? (A) To operate on it.
11. (Q) In what way? (A) Here, from the side here.
12. (Q) Cannot it be done by manipulation? (A) Cannot absorb it; it has hardened at times past you see; it is hard. See here the testicle comes (here at the upper end of the pelvis) comes in contact with a lesion at the second lumbar, and there you see it forms a lesion, now between this lesion and into the pelvis here (right opposite to the left side and about two inches from the pelvis bone) has formed a clot or a knot at the time of cold or extreme excitement or anything to the nervous organism of the system; it produces then the pains that revert to the head, at the top, in the center. Produce cold all along the spine and heat on top of the head. When we reverse this it settles in the organs, that is, in the weakest point in the system. Those come together again from these troubles in sympathy with the sympathetic system here at the stomach. We have at times, at the same time, a filling up of gases in the stomach; pains in the lower part, in the intestinal tract. We have a reverse and produces the condition in the intestinal tract itself. That is the after effects and not the cause of the trouble; the trouble is from the clot that formed here from this accident we have had here in the testicle.* It will have to be here, roll the intestines to the side [See 294-2, Par. R1]; we have here at the lower part a clot is formed and when that is cut loose it makes a reaction to the nerve supply and makes it rebuild instead of forming this clot on the nerve force here. * [GD's note: [294] reported that when he was a child he fell on a stick which went right through his testicle. It was a very serious accident and the healing was very slow.]

13. (Q) Your circulation is going to continue perfect. (A) [No response]
