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; answering the questions, as I ask them.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [5167].
3. As we find, there are serious disturbances here. These are apparently a series of what might be called accidents, but are there accidents? These have caused fractures to the structural portion of the head or cranium, and with those healings there has been brought the formation of lesions and of pressures across from the left side toward the right, and then from the upper portion. My! What a mess! These have been allowed to remain so long that other than what is being administered in the present would not be of special help, unless there was a series of operations. For these have begun to cause deterioration of brain flexes themselves, or dementia praecox.
4. This, as we find, can best be determined by those responsible for the body, as to whether the body should go through with such or not.
5. As we find, the better place for this (while there is no fault here, but where there may be used operative measures, also a brain specialist and with those specializing in dementia cases), would be Macon, Missouri. There we might find help.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Is the brain itself injured or is there a brain tumor? (A) It is a tumor. As has been indicated, the seams cause pressure in the casement and these run crosswise, as well as downward. Hence all of the reflexes are abnormal. This is

the reason why most diagnoses are: dementia praecox. It isn't true dementia, but a gradual wasting of gray matter. X-ray should indicate it. These have been made, but fluids form, you see, and these do not show in X-rays. Fluoroscope would be the better manner of examination, or infra-red X-rays, or shadowgraph.
8. (Q) Are there any glandular defects or malfunctioning of glands underlying this condition? (A) No glandular disturbance.
We would change to Macon. [Still-Hildreth Sanatorium, Macon, Mo.]
9. We are through with this reading.
