[13] (_Bandage a bandalettes._) This is a most convenient form of bandage, in fractures of the upper or lower extremities. It is composed of strips of soft linen or muslin, from two to three inches wide, and of a length accommodated to the size of the limb, on which they are to be applied. These strips are not sewed together, but merely laid along side of each other, or rather spread in such a way that their adjoining edges may overlap a little. Being thus arranged, on the bed or mattress, where the patient is to lie, the broken limb is placed on them, when the surgeon, taking them, one by one, folds them round it, so as to form a very perfect and neat covering. The number of these strips must be regulated by the extent of the limb, or, at least, of that portion of the limb, which they are intended to cover. TRANS. Compresses wet with vegeto-mineral water, kept the apparatus constantly moist. On the day following, the dressing was renewed superficially; severe pains in the part; abated towards evening; almost gone next day; low diet continued. Fourth day, pains returned; an incipient swelling around the joint; more blood drawn. Sixth day, considerably better; all the apparatus renewed; suppuration beginning to appear. Tenth day, a small abscess on the external condyl opened, and a splinter extracted posteriorly. Fifteenth day, the parts assume a flattering aspect; suppuration favourable; fragments in contact; from this time the dressings are less frequent. Twentieth day, a bilious diathesis; edges of the wounds livid; loss of appetite; nausea; vomiting; an emetic is administered. Thirtieth day, unfavourable appearances gone; reunion commencing; wounds visibly healing. Fortieth day, all external injuries healed, except the one situated anteriorly; callus already very firm; gentle motions performed with the limb, which is still surrounded by the apparatus. Forty-seventh day, the apparatus become useless; motions gradually increased; articulation already tolerably free. Fifty-seventh day, bilious diathesis returned; low diet and evacuants. Sixty-fifth day, the patient discharged from the hospital; consolidation perfect; wounds entirely healed; motions of extension still difficult to be performed in their full extent, but are recovered in a great measure, and will doubtless, in a short time, be completely re-established, provided the same mode of treatment be continued.
