(See illustrations.) Management of the Needle.—After insertion the needle is ad-vanced to the bone w^ithout entering the peritoneum (Figs. 192, 193).A certain touch is soon acquired as to whether the needle is being ad-vanced in the correct direction, not too far pharyngeally, yet closelyenough to the bone. If, in case of a very sharp angle of the bone,the periosteum is found to offer resistance, even though moderately, 566 LOCAL ANESTHESIA the needle should not be advanced any farther, and under no condi-tion use force, else the needle bores into the periosteum of the boneand is sure to break.
