The Medical and surgical reporter . l joint,giving the patient liberty to move or changehis place in bed, or lay on his side, or byplacing table of the height of the bed along-side, the patient can move to have his bedmade on the first day without disturbingthe fracture in the least. The splint properis of steel,nickel plated,and so constructedthat it can be adjusted to any size oflimb, long or short, thick or thin. (38) is for the treatment of fracture ofthe neck of the femur or intracapsular,the splint extending to the axilla and fas- properly applied the limb is im-mobilized and cannot be injured bythe patient if he would. There is nointerior or exterior, ensheathing or ferrulerequired to keep the limb so that fracturedressings cannot be removed. The interiorand ensheathing callus will form by nature.(Billroth, p. 208). In compound comminuted fractures nopains must be spared to remove particles ofloose fragments. The wound should bethoroughly cleansed by antiseptics, asbichloride, 1-2000. If then, the fracture. cs tened around the body and by telescopeto any length. Fig. 23, A. 10, is a movablehip joint. A. 12, counter-extension bands;from hip to knee, also telescope to get theexact length from knee to foot. The kneejoint can be set at any angle by a wormwheel, as seen in Fig. 25. The thigh-rest is of wood, also changeable to anysize, seen in Fig. 24. The lower limbrests in a hammock fastened by a seriesof movable hooks from knee to this hammock is placed the many-tailed bandage, also fastened by those is properly coaptated and kept immobile,the bone will heal by first the dressing has to be changed orrenewed, this can be done without dis-turbing the fracture in the least. Aftera practical use of this apparatus for overten years with such success, I now presentit to the medical profession. The memory of Ohevreul, the illustriouschemist, has been commemorated in hisnative town of Aggess, in France, by theerection of a bronze statue
