. A treatise on artificial limbs with rubber hands and feet ... No. 1123. or it should be made to lay down by thick soap. One plaster bandageroll should be immersed in water (see cut No. 1123), and kept there un-til bubbles cease to come to the surface. When well soaked it shouldbe wound around the stump very tightly. Begin at the end and windupwardly. See that every layer laps the edge of the preceding layer, A. A. MARKS, ARTIFICIAL LIMBS, NEW YORK CITY. 299 and continue upward to the joint. Then work downwardly andaround the end of the stump in several directions, then up again, andso on until every part of the stump up to the joint has been covered byabout four layers. See cut No. 1124. For a long and large stump itwill require at least five bandages of the width and length above No. 1124. A small stump will, of course, require less. The bandages should beallowed to remain on the stump until they have become hard. Thismay take one or two hours, and possibly three, as the cloth holds themoisture a great length of time. Therefore, the plaster will notharden so quickly as it will in any of the methods previously described.
