Spinal disease and spinal curvature : their treatment by suspension and the use of the plaster of Paris bandage . e benefit of the plaster jacket to securethe patient in position, after extension had been made to relievepain in a case of Potts disease, was most strikingly illustratedat the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Oxford Street, in the case ofGeorge Moody, of Bath, aged 20 years. He had suffered froman acute pain for over three years, in the back and loins. Aconsiderable curve, the result of Potts disease, occurred twoyears ago, and nothing gave relief until he was suspended, andthe plaster jacket applied by Dr. Sayre on July 26, 1877.

To face p. 86.
