Excerpt from The Southern Practitioner, Vol. 15: An Independent Monthly Journal, Devoted to Medicine and Surgery, August, 1893When the laceration occurs upon the upper surface of the limb there is no difficulty in covering it with powder. When it is placed upon the sides of the extremity a platform of cotton wool must be fixed in place that the powder, when dusted upon it, will bury the wound. The cotton wool may be kept in position by fixing it in position against the side of the splints, or attach ing to the skin by gum.The following advantages may be claimed for this method: It is simple and requires but the simplest appliances. The fracture when once adjusted, need not be again disturbed. The dam aged part is kept exposed to view, and the position of the ends of bone can be ascertained at any moment. - Frederick Treves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
