Cover the be-ginning end with thestrip and carry it overthe anterior portion of the shield; complete the dressingby adhering the remaining end of the plaster to the sideof the toe opposite the beginning. We thus have two stripsof plaster over the anterior of the shield lying next to eachother and making approximately a quarter-of-an-inch of. FIG. 3.
