Give him my regards when you see him. It is Captain EB. R. Sibel, but he is hoping for a majority soon. Dre Bibel was home a few months ago and seemed to be enjoying his work very much. And as for Captain Raymond Foster, you give him my very best regards. He was a fine little basketball player for me at Teachers College at Warrensburg, Missowi.

Ag I told you yesterday, the nerve _ supply is from the fifth and sixth cervicle. Tt.is the.. . axillary nerve; the old terminology is circumflex. I would ee ee cord. | This will be helpful, but I am of the opinion that — the diathersy machine with manipulation would be mush more beneficial. The teres minor muscle erises from the exillary border of the scapula in its upper third and is inserted into a facet on the greater tuberosity of the humerus - the distal — facet. Now this is the important thing, George, to have these electrodes placed one on the bicipital groove of the humerus and the other on the distal facet on the opposite side of the humerus « : The reason that the pain is reflected so often to _ the bicipital groove is due to the shortening of the teres ' ginor insertion. This pulis the head of the back and does not give full movement of the Oe eee ae eee or intertubercularis sulcus. That is why so much of the pain is in the front of the shoulder, while the real injury is in the : back. i i After 15 or 20 minutes of the dietherny a manipulation of the cervicle region and the neok, plus a stretoh- Sas Covell AAS sin Guns wee ectay Wi Jax Onllége protic will be very beneficial. ‘You will remember that he *g shoulder. eo hook sliding or slipping not nearly as bad as that, es to respond to this type of trea you keep consistently at it.
