1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) What causes stuttering, and what can be done for it? (A) In the body-forces, as we have oft indicated through this channel, each portion of the organism of the body is controlled by coordination of the sympathetic and cerebrospinal nervous system. The connections for the auditory as well as the vocal forces of the body derive their impulse from the 3rd cervical, as well as the 3rd, 4th and 5th dorsal. Hence it is necessary, very patiently but very systematically, to reduce - osteopathically - those tendencies of the body to oversupply energies to the vocal cords; so that - as these corrections are made, and as there are the precautions to assist the body in its attempt to make expressions through the speech - these conditions may be eliminated entirely from the system. And these as we find, while requiring some time and some patience, will relieve stuttering; that is, the osteopathic corrections, with special reference to the connecting centers in the lymph patches, the emunctory activity and circulation, from those areas indicated in the spine, should assist the body in correcting those tendencies existent.
5. (Q) How can the parents help him to overcome it? (A) The greater aid will be in enabling the body to have the cooperation of an osteopath administering those applications that will allow the body himself to control the activity.
6. (Q) Is the nursery school, Miss Marshall's, at 22333 Grand River, a well run and proper place for him? (A) This as we find is a good environment for the body.
7. (Q) Any suggestions about this?

(A) Do not curb or make the body aware, by anxiety, of too much difference of opinion. But in same use the power of the psychological effect upon the body-forces that cause the weaknesses or tendencies, and these should be - and will be in the major part - eliminated.
8. (Q) Have the treatments been given often enough, and have they helped? (A) These have been given often enough. There should be more of the relaxing, generally, as well as the specific corrections in the areas indicated.
9. (Q) Any other advice? (A) Do keep the body (though young as yet, but apparent as to its abilities and activities) acquainted with that being done, and why, and the expectancy the body may have with the use of the treatments suggested. And when necessary for the body's action itself, recall what has just been given.
