At all times the intelligence has been most lucid, and the memory perfect. She seems to have made a slight improvement; her faith in recovery is now assured, but there is no change in her blindness. Clairvoyant Diagnosis. There is a tumour the size of the terminal phalanx of the little finger in the position of the optic Chiasma. It is composed of practically solid tissue, at the centre of which is a small body of an irritant nature. The direction of its growth is upwards; in shape it is like a broad bean with the convex surface downwards, and the central source of irritation is at the “hilum”10 of the bean, occupying a space about 1/6 th of an inch in diameter; there is some congealed blood at the base of the tumour surrounding this.

Nevertheless, the pain was so terrible to the victims that many of them died under it. Inwardly the patient revoked against the office, and obeyed only through fear. The physical karma is therefore worse than the moral and spiritual in this life the physical karma will probably be exhausted. The chances of recovery are very remote, and a miracle would be demanded to effect it. The latest news of this patient confirms this last conclusion. Case B. Dementia pracox. Male, aged 18. Clairvoyant Diagnosis. Degeneration of tissue is occurring in the brain. This process is progressive, and there is very little that can be done; in the early stages the etheric double of the brain appeared as though pitted and “pockmarked” like a heavily shelled area
