It shows well the disadvantage of silver wireas a suture material, as it Is liable to break at any time when anyangularity at the seat of fracture la produced. Fig. S.—Case 6.

The displace-ment of the fragments is constant, tlie tipper passing downward,forward, and Inward; the lower, upward, backward and knowledge of the character of the displacement is of greatvalue to the surgeon, in that it simplilies considerably the detailsand severity of the .operation, and secures a perfect result.
