We have the pleasure of offering to the Surgical Pro-fession a new splint, first devised by Dr. Haynes , of this city. The accompanying illustration will give a better ideaof its construction and mode of application than any worddescription. It is, as will be seen, composed of threeparts, and has three points of attachment, viz., to the sideaxilla and arm. F^ The arm and body pieces are semi-cylindrical in shape,are made of hard rubber, and are fastened together bymeans of rivets, with sufficient space left between themto allow the passage of straps of adhesive plaster. Thecrescentic pad is received as a crutch in the axilla. For fracture of the Clavicle the crutch is crowded firmlyin the axilla, the arm piece secured to the arm by circlesof adhesive strap ; the shoulder is then raised and thearm carried backwards until the fragments are broughtinto position, when the body splint and crutch are se-cured alike by straps of plaster. If thought desirable,one strap may be passed over the opposite shoulder. For fracture of the Scapula the arm is carried forwardinstead of backwards, before the splint is secured to theside. For fracture of the Humerus the arm is secured in itsmost natural and easy position. In all other respectsthe splint is adjusted the same for fracture of either ofthe above mentioned bones. Aft
