Minor surgery, or, Hints on the every-day duties of the surgeon . around the chin and neck, as sometimes recom-mended in cases of fracture of this part of the jaw,as these tend to displace the fragments, and pushthe chin too much, backwards. CROSSED, OR FIGURE OF 8 OF THE of a single-headed roller, five yardslong and two inches wide. Application. — PlaceFig. 51. the initial extremity of the roller just below theprominence in the osoccipitis, continue it ob-liquely over the centreof the parietal bone,across the junction ofthe coronal and sagittalsutures, over the zygo-matic arch under thechin, and, pursuing thesame direction on theopposite side until youarrive at the back of thehead; then pass it obliquely around and parallelto the base of the lower jaw, over the chin, andcontinue the same course on the other side till itends where you commenced, whence we run ex-actly the same course, fixing the bandage by apin at the vertex. Use. — For this beautiful specimen of a ban-dage we are indebted to the skill and ingenuity. MINOR SURGERY. 65 of Dr. J.

Inorder to apply it neatly, the roller should not beover two inches wide, and the turns should followas nearly as possible those which have precededthem, thus giving the appearance of but a singleturn.
