A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . des of extension and manipulation which Iemployed, I will briefly state that, having placed her completelyunder the influence of chloroform, the manipulations were madeassiduously during one hour, without success. On the followingmorning she was bled freely from the opposite arm, and chloroformagain administered; extension being made, in the presence of A. Lee and other gentlemen, with Jarviss adjuster. Aftermore than an hour, the effort was again suspended. On the followingday we made a third attempt, the patient being completely under theinfluence of chloroform, but with no better success. The chloroformproduced a condition approaching apoplexy, and it was not againused. On the tenth day, assisted by Prof. James P. White and othersurgeons, we applied the compound pulleys, moving the arm in vari-ous directions.
