New elements of operative surgery . enthe lips—to take the place, in fact, of the sling or chin-cloth, {men-tonniere)—we adjust the triangle towards the vertex, with its pointturned forward.

By placing the mid-dle of the handkerchief, which is on the top of the head, a little far-ther forward, it is easy to bring down its two halves upon the paro-tid regions, cross them under the jaw, (Fig. 119.) and afterwardsraise them towards the temple.
