blades, and establishes the (left) posterior line at 

 the left shoulder blade (§ 162 sixth) ; and the 

 equalizing of the cross-line ends brings into equal 

 action the two jaw articulations, the inner bearing 

 passing from the left to the right, and leaving the 

 stress of the head condyle movement at the right 

 upper corner of the sternum. 



§ 168. No. 2. — And for " setting up " with the 

 (right) posterior line of the ophidian S leading. 

 Since the rear " point of application " cannot, at 

 once, exercise its direct working, as did that of the 

 anterior winding Hne, the fundamental points are 

 to begin the influence of the " secondary section '* 

 of the (right) posterior line by pressing the (right) 

 true ribs to the left, at the same time that they 

 rotate outward and backward,"^ producing the 

 effect of equalizing the inner bearing first in the 

 false ribs (posterior C), as a reflected action from 

 the upper true ribs, on which follows equalization 

 of this bearing at the true ribs, as the secondary 

 section proper ; subsequently to allow the direct 

 action of the (right) posterior " point of appHca- 

 tion " between the upper and lower lung lobes, 

 where, for the ophidian S, it takes effect more es-
