1. GC: You will have before you the body of Mrs. [139] of ... N.Y. City, and you will tell us if the operation is necessary and what sort of anesthesia should they use, if it is necessary, giving us the physical condition of this body at the present time, and answering any other questions I might ask you regarding this.

2. EC: Now, we find there is considerable difference in the conditions in this body at the present from that as when we had it here before. While the condition is much exaggerated in that of the pressure as is produced in the head, we find were those conditions in the centers that produce this pressure, as has been given, were relieved by that of the relaxing of those central points, this condition could be relieved by the appliance of the rays, as has been given and without becoming so stressed, as will be under an anesthesia or under the loss of the nerve control, though the operation may be used; yet this we find will bring a strain to the system that will be hard to prevent a dissolution in, for with the strain as will be placed on the nerve system and the heart's action, through ANY anesthesia, though the combination of gas and of the others should, were this to be used on body, see? gas and ether.

3. (Q) What suggestions will be best for the improvement of this body at the present time? (A) Without the relief that would be obtained through the applying of those forces that would relieve the pressure as is produced on brain, then it would be best to operate, though, as given, this is a very serious condition for an operation on the body at the present time, for the effects of the anesthesia in system is not totally left or removed as yet, see? but with the removal by the deep manipulation, as has been given to those portions of system where pressure is produced, in brain, see? those in the upper dorsal and cervical, brought to such a condition (the nerves, see?) by the manipulation and by the application of the rays, as

given this may be assimilated in system, though without this, then operate - using the anesthesia as given, see? Combination, and this will bring bad condition in some conditions, see?

4. (Q) What should Mr. [900] do regarding this matter? (A) We haven't [900] though we have this place. (In undertone) - [900] regarding this condition - co-relation - [900] ... place, and [139] - ..., N.Y. He has done his best. Keep that same position, condition, that he has held under the circumstances of same, see?

5. (Q) If the deep manipulations are used at the present, can this condition be relieved? (A) As given, this may be relieved - take longer of course, see? and should be properly handled, else the formations as are beginning, see? on brain, would become necessary to remove by the operation in the end, see?

6. (Q) What osteopath doctor would be the correct one to handle this condition at present? (A) Green.

Best to operate if they keep on bringing on this condition as we see at present, see?
