1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:

2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.

3. As we find, in the physical forces of the body conditions are very good.

4. In the structural forces, where there has been the injury to the lower extremities, these are NOT so well.

5. As we find, there should be the operative measures to remove the folds, or gristle - as it has grown to be.

6. This, as we find, would require the grafting of skin; which might be taken from the thigh, and may require two - or three - operations. But this COULD - with the removal of these prevent this constant drawing, and prevent the body from eventually becoming more like club-footed in the one side of same.

7. These would be the better activities, as we find.

8. Ready for questions.

9. (Q) Would you suggest a surgeon? (A) Marcus Skinner.

10. (Q) Any particular diet, or preparation for the operation? (A) This, of course - the operation, must be in keeping with the desire of the body, as well as those in association with or responsible for the developing of the body; and it should not be done without the consent of the body itself. And possibly the spring would be the better time for it to be performed, as it would be more consistent with the GROWTH of the body; also it would interfere less with the other phases of the mental development of the body at those periods. But the sooner it is done, of course, the better. As to diet - this is very good in the present.
