Drainage is provided with the Kelly pad (), the pad being, of course, placed on the portion of the tablecorresponding to the part to be operated upon. The bottom of the 111 K^ra Fig. 133.—Kelly Pad Arranged on Extemporized Operating Table, todrain into Pail. pad is folded over and led into a pail (Fig. 133).

If there be anydoubt as to the stability of the table, it maybe reinforced by wiring the legs togethernear their bottoms.
