When this is found to be the case, then, in order to reduce it, set the patient low, on a steady seat. Take a napkin or towel, of which make a girt; put one part over your neck, and the other part under the arm-pit. Let an assistant hold the patient steady, another take hold of the patient’s arm, with the elbow bent, and extend it gradually; then with both your hands take the arm, and whilst you lift up the arm by help of the napkin resting on your neck, you press gently down the arm with your hands like a lever; in the mean time the assistant extends, and thus you reduce it; which you will hear by its snapping: upon which the patient will be able to move his arm in all kind of direction, without much pain. If the head of the arm-bone is dislocated forwards, there will be a cavity backwards on the shoulder, and the elbow will stick backwards, and remain motionless, with great pain. In this case, as before, let the patient sit low, and with the help of the napkin, and assistances, first extend the arm forwards; then like a lever bring the head of the bone in its cavity; which, like the former, will be perceived by a snapping, and the voluntary motion of the patient’s arm. When the shoulder is reduced, secure the whole with a long double-headed bandage, cross-wide over the shoulders, and round the body. Foment it night and morning with _spirits of wine and camphor_ (A). Keep the arm close to the body, with the elbow bent, and wear it in a sling, that it may be free from motion till it is well. _Dislocation of the Elbow, or the Knee._ The elbow, as I said before, is very seldom dislocated, unless fractured, and the ligament tore at the same time; and when so, the case is terrible. But very often those joints receive a wrench, which, though nothing out of its place, is often very painful, on account of the many tendons that surround the parts. The only thing in such wrenching, is to foment it with _spirit of wine and camphor_ (A), or else the _saponaceous linament_ (B). The same method should be observed with the knee, securing it well with a bandage, in order to give it rest to recover: For rest is a principal remedy. _Of spraining the Wrist, or Ancle._ The wrist and ancle are complicated joints, and thence capable of a great number of motions, and subject to a variety of sprainings, but not a perfect dislocation; nevertheless, they are very painful, and sometimes tedious in getting well. Whatever be the matter, the sick part should be compared with the sound, and the difference is soon seen. If it so happens, that there appears a perceivable difference, the parts should be gently extended, and reduced; and all that is to be done, is the securing it well with a bandage, and fomenting it with _Spirits of Wine and Camphor_, (A) or, what is yet better, _Linament of Soap_.
