Fourth, extension and counter-extension after the manner recom-mended by Nathan E. Smith. Smith proposed to make the counter-extension by the opposite arm, while both arms were in a position atright angles with the body. The connection established between thetwo scapulae through the trapezii, enables the surgeon by pulling at thesound arm to render the counter-extension effective upon the scapulaof the dislocated arm. I have succeeded by this plan, aided only by 21. 322 DISLOCATIONS OF THE HUMERUS. one assistant, who grasped the hand of the sound arm and made coun-ter-extension, while I made extension in the same manner from the Fig. 127. §Lmm
