A system of surgery : theoretical and practical . orcibly injected water bymeans of a syringe w^ith a screw piston, after rigor mortis had passed off, thusrepeating an experiment made long ago by Bonnet. As the fluid was slowly Fie. 72.—From a photograph of the body of a child into whose right hip-joint I had injsctedwater, while the body was suspended from the arms after rigor mortis had passed the water was being forced in through the pectineal eminence of the pubic bone,by means of a screw piston, the right hmb rose slowly and easily into the position in whichit was photographed (namely flexion, abduction and eversion), and remained so without anysupport until the photograph was taken, not altering its position in the least until later,wbeu the water was allowed to escape from the joint, when it at once fell to its normalposition. How far it deviated from this during injection will be seen if a line be drawndown the centre of the body through the ensiform cartilage, umbilicus and symphysispubis in the left-hand
