This is accomplished by the rolling of two pulley-wheelsupon a horizontal bar. The case in which the leg rests may be made of metalor of wood, and the frame of iron, for the sake of lightness and strength. Dr. Hodgen, of St. Louis, suspends the box over a pulley placed transversely,so that by drawing the rope to the right or to the left, the box may be turned 488 FRACTURES OF THE TIBIA AND FIBULA, upon either side. The suspension apparatus devised by Trader, of Sedalia, the treatment of compound fractures of the leg, when it is desired to employirrigation, I have found very useful in my wards at Bellevue. The limb is sus-pended by transverse strips of cloth, over a tray, from which the water is con-ducted by nozzles. I have found it convenient to attach India-rubber tubing tothese nozzles, through which the water may be conve
