This diet. may be 509 13| threshing-boards made of oak.~ 510 25| condition. And they are obliged to apply a cataplasm on 511 49| the same rules are to be observed, and at the same periods, 512 43| notwithstanding a great obstacle,—in such a violent displacement 513 38| sometimes to the outside, and occasionally into the ham. The reduction 514 27| pressure of the splints occasioned by the bandages, or from 515 4 | firmness to the parts without occasioning strong compression. When 516 34| be taken out, and if it occasions inconvenience and irritates 517 11| when a serious wound has occurred in the leg and it is long 518 21| and nothing of the kind occurs unless the fracture be bound 519 24| application, applying pitch ointment, or some of the dressings 520 25| seat of the injury, but omit them there, and leave the 521 19| treating of, nothing should be omitted in order that the parts 522 32| and, in a word, we must operate powerfully with the lever 523 3 | is at hand, so that the operator in making the extension, 524 3 | many others are of this opinion. The latter, in fact, is 525 3 | state of supination, gives orders to extend the arm thus, 526 46| cartilaginous part, which gives origin to the posterior tendon 527 13| then some broad thongs of ox-skin being brought round it, 528 19| questions as formerly, should be pained and recover in like manner, 529 40| while a third, applying the palm of his hand to the part 530 11| and hardened, it is to be pared down smoothly and thinned, 531 45| bone (radius?) is sometime partially displaced from the other, 532 22| thigh a canal which does not pass farther down than the ham, 533 42| the arm (humerus?) from passing over it. In dislocations 534 36| For modes of treatment and peculiarity of constitution make a great 535 29| at the commencement, or perceive subsequently that it is 536 9 | many of these do not make a perfect recovery. And often the 537 9 | All these bones recover perfectly in twenty days, except those 538 2 | in all the other arts and performances, whether executed whether 539 | perhaps 540 32| these three, the axis in peritrochio, the lever, and the wedge. 541 9 | the complaint, have not perseverance to do this, and they walk 542 8 | placed one or more leather pillows under the arm, so as to 543 46| tendons?) situated in these places are contused; for the risk 544 31| devoid of a certain degree of plausibility, for they are allied to 545 2 | and in proof of this he pointed out that all the bones in 546 34| some to more; for the more porous pieces of bone separate 547 34| and others otherwise. A portion of bone which protrudes 548 1 | skilled in giving the proper positions to the arm in binding it 549 13| it will be sufficient to possess a board in length, breadth, 550 14| upon the stretch, if you possibly can; but if prevented by 551 46| which gives origin to the posterior tendon of the arm, and sometimes 552 31| bad quality it has little power. But those who approve of 553 32| a word, we must operate powerfully with the lever as we would 554 32| mode of reduction may be practiced:—Some small pieces of iron 555 13| is, for any physician who practices in a large city, to have 556 2 | work to be performed. In practicing archery, no doubt this is 557 7 | altogether; but there is nothing precise in this matter, for one 558 2 | we were treating of, was presented in the prone position to 559 1 | is to have his arm bound, presents it in the proper position 560 16| suppose. For the canals do not preserve the leg at rest as they 561 14| the palms of the hands, pressing upon the projecting bone 562 8 | having the one foot on some pretty high object, and adjusting 563 44| should be reduced during the prevalence of fever, and least of all 564 44| accord; but if fever have previously come on, you must no longer 565 49| bend of the arm. For the principal compression should be at 566 5 | be conducted on the same principle, so that the farther you 567 31| ignorant of the most important principles of medicine; for, in a word, 568 2 | in his knowledge, would probably not have committed if he 569 31| fourth day; and all sort of probing should be avoided on these 570 11| cases of sphacelus, not proceeding from such a cause as this; 571 36| the dangers, and should prognosticate them in due time. But if 572 16| treated, and if the swelling progress in a suitable manner, the 573 2 | the archers do when they project the shoulder, and in this 574 3 | sufficiently straight. The prominence of a broken bone could not 575 2 | of, was presented in the prone position to be bound, but 576 3 | things he brings forward as proofs that the parts are in their 577 21| reduced, and the humors be propelled to the parts above the former 578 14| of the body is to be made proportionate to the magnitude of the 579 32| support for the lever, but the protruding part is sharp, you must 580 40| of the forearm that has a protuberance (ulna?). Such dislocations, 581 20| be placed on the natural protuberances of the bone at the knee-joint, 582 42| to make pressure on the protuberant part of the arm, and the 583 4 | a more feeble extension proves sufficient, but if both 584 7 | there is no troublesome pruritus in the part, nor any reason 585 8 | hold of it at the elbow and pull it downward. But the physician 586 13| it, the pestle, is to be pulled away, while other persons 587 40| joint which is displaced, pushes it inward ward, and at the 588 43| the arm for the purpose of pushing it back, and applying the 589 34| exfoliating, become dried up and putrid; and besides, different 590 9 | recovery. And often the pain puts them in mind of the injury; 591 3 | 3. But another physician putting the arm into the state of 592 13| thickness, resembling the quadrangular threshing-boards made of 593 31| small quantity and of a bad quality it has little power. But 594 15| patients become incapable of raising themselves up, so that they 595 48| advantage, owing to the rapid manner in which inflammation 596 2 | with the greatest force and rapidity, for arrows thus discharged 597 6 | so as that they may not reach the bones which are prominent 598 31| free from inflammation, and ready for complete bandaging with 599 1 | binding it up, while in reality they are only showing their 600 11| removed on the third day and reapplied. And these are the symptoms 601 2 | strength or dexterity, what is reckoned the natural position is 602 3 | bandages it in this position, reckoning it the one according to 603 7 | thus broken, if the arm recline in the shawl at the wrist 604 3 | about, nor when he lies reclined, and will not become fatigued. 605 41| outside, and they are readily recognized by the shape of the limb. 606 20| mechanical contrivances recommended in distortion of the arm. 607 8 | bending of the bone will be rectified, but care must be taken 608 43| in the straight line can rectify this manner of dislocation, 609 14| state of rest, and in a recumbent position. There is nothing 610 11| surrounding parts become red and hard, there is danger 611 27| you apply your finger the redness disappears, but speedily 612 37| as unskillful, while by reducing them he will bring the patient 613 49| the compresses should be regulated in the same manner as has 614 24| 24. These things relate to cases in which there 615 37| be contracted, so as to relax the parts about the wound. 616 32| parts are in a particularly relaxed condition that convulsions 617 11| and administer the other remedies which are applicable when 618 44| reduction, for the pain will be rendered more intense by any such 619 5 | about the fracture; and this reply he should make all along, 620 2 | and another in a state of repose. And whatever arts one examines, 621 1 | physicians who have the reputation of being skilled in giving 622 13| breadth, and thickness, resembling the quadrangular threshing-boards 623 38| therefore affords no great resistance, although the external nerve ( 624 49| relaxation, as formerly described respecting the treatment of broken 625 45| united by symphysis, to restore them to their natural state, 626 7 | wine, and then by degrees resume a more nourishing diet. 627 27| disappears, but speedily returns. If you suspect anything 628 4 | may prove sufficient to revert to the spot where the other 629 40| small, sometimes toward the ribs, and sometimes to the outside; 630 32| the upper fragment which rides over the other does not 631 27| but rest is to be more rigidly maintained than in the former 632 35| there is danger of febrile rigors, and also of convulsions; 633 31| wounds, are those which give rise to exacerbations, whether 634 46| places are contused; for the risk of death is more immediate 635 21| beginning from below and rolling upward; for thus the swellings 636 31| should be well carded and not rough, for in small quantity and 637 38| even conformation, and is rounded, while the joint of the 638 49| the injury, and the same rules are to be observed, and 639 29| carry off the fluids which run from the wound; these must 640 2 | he is looked up to as a sage; and yet he forgets that 641 11| not hard; for this is a satisfactory proof in all cases of ecchymosis, 642 34| consequence whether they be sawed off or not. For it should 643 2 | a proof of this. And so saying, and so doing, he is looked 644 5 | arm feels tight, and he says it does, but moderately 645 32| part is sharp, you must scoop out of the bone what will 646 16| limb, although it is not secundum artem. For the limb should 647 7 | 7. If, then, you see that the bones are properly 648 | seem 649 34| has been said it will be seen, that it is impossible to 650 46| fractures of this nature seldom occur.~ 651 34| and some, from pieces not separating, but merely exfoliating, 652 | several 653 30| the body. But one should sew two balls of Egyptian leather, 654 30| length of time in large shackles, and the balls the balls 655 43| but what would a sudden shock not displace? for many other 656 30| single or double thong, and short, like loops, the one set 657 13| counter-extension by grasping the shoulders and the ham. It is also 658 31| that period, such persons show themselves to be ignorant 659 1 | in reality they are only showing their own ignorance. But 660 30| the other below the knee. Sideways it should have below two 661 5 | the hand, for this is a sign of moderate compression, 662 7 | the treatment. And in this simple plan of treatment it is 663 24| cases in which the bones are simply broken across, and are not 664 36| bilious fevers come on, with singultus and mortification. The chances 665 30| of the body will no less sink down to the foot, and thus 666 1 | the reputation of being skilled in giving the proper positions 667 21| give pain they should be slackened. You may sooner reduce the 668 16| the extremities, and the slackening of the bandages in like 669 18| the little finger is the slenderer and longer. But in the joint 670 2 | javelin, and another in slinging, another in casting stones, 671 27| suppurate, and the tendons to slough away, in these cases no 672 17| neglected, nor be performed slovenly, more especially at the 673 7 | his arm bandaged keep it slung in a shawl, and that the 674 34| quickly, owing to their smallness, and some from being merely 675 4 | along the arm, compresses, smeared with a little cerate, for 676 48| the articulating bone be snapped off, whether the bones be 677 30| applied or not, fasten the sole of the foot to the couch, 678 | sometime 679 34| reduced, and if it appears sons: that only a small piece 680 30| These persons thus do all sorts of mischief but no good; 681 11| abstinence from solid food and soups, and give water for drink, 682 8 | stricter diet, and for a longer space of time than in the former 683 8 | length, like the handles of spades, suspend it by means of 684 7 | but one should live rather sparingly until the tenth day, as 685 11| danger that the os calcis may sphacelate; and if this should take 686 24| reason to anticipate that any splintered bones will come away; and 687 37| little fragrant oxyglyky sprinkled on water; but if he is not 688 48| as being the intermediate stage between both. And this is 689 23| properly, and if not kept steady in the same position, and 690 9 | heavy body. The treatment of stich injuries, therefore, will 691 30| handsome, soft, and newly stitched, and if the extension by 692 2 | slinging, another in casting stones, another in boxing, and 693 16| the bed and in going to stool. A limb then may be well 694 4 | of blood into it may be stopped, and the bandage should 695 15| their natural position, by straightening and arranging them with 696 1 | to be proper; and what is strange, they prefer to what is 697 8 | patient is to be kept on a stricter diet, and for a longer space 698 6 | secure them secure them with strings so loose as just to keep 699 32| the aforesaid days, but strive to keep the wound as free 700 28| from the sore, and appears striving to make its escape. The 701 1 | is no necessity for much study, then, in order to set a 702 30| the balls should be well stuffed and soft, and fit well, 703 15| when wounded, necessity subdues the understanding, since 704 10| bed; but if not, they are subjected to the complaints formerly 705 41| the ,elbow gets displaced (subluxated?) by leaving the cavity 706 29| commencement, or perceive subsequently that it is to happen, no 707 27| will much more completely subside, under this treatment, than 708 26| the swelling should have subsided on the whole part comprehended 709 43| indeed, but what would a sudden shock not displace? for 710 43| and the arm is then to be suddenly bent at the elbow, and the 711 25| be that a wound would not suffer in like manner? The wound 712 15| part two strong men will suffice, by making extension and 713 38| extension for the most part sufficeth, extension being made at 714 29| embrocation. And if it be the summer season, the compresses are 715 48| inflammation of the tendons supervenes. For even when the luxated 716 23| the rest of the body is supported, the limb must present a 717 18| inner bone of the leg which supports the most of the weight of 718 3 | natural state, and he is supposed to speak correctly. But, 719 28| regard to a recent wound, supposing there will be no exfoliation 720 27| the fleshy parts about to suppurate, and the tendons to slough 721 16| more confidence, and the surgeon is more likely to escape 722 8 | anything of this kind is suspected, the arm is to be encircled 723 18| of the thigh-bone which sustains the upper part of the body, 724 22| the canal, as children are swathed in bed; and then, if the 725 2 | discharged have the greatest swiftness and force, and are carried 726 3 | neither, if a man held a sword thus in his hand, could 727 45| any two bones united by symphysis, to restore them to their 728 | taking 729 9 | bones of the part called the tarsus be displaced, it must be 730 31| effects which it would be tedious to describe.~ 731 34| that it is impossible to tell in one word when the bones 732 32| they are more than usually tense. In the case we are now 733 7 | rather sparingly until the tenth day, as being now deprived 734 4 | and the bandage should terminate there, and the first bandages 735 4 | the spot where the other terminated. The bandages may be rolled 736 4 | part beginning below and terminating above, but sometimes commencing 737 46| across. To speak in general terms, all cases of fractured 738 32| condition that convulsions and tetanus are apt to supervene, but 739 6 | tight. The splint should be thickest where the fracture protrudes, 740 26| pitch is to be applied, a thin folded compress is to be 741 4 | below. The parts which are thinly covered with flesh should 742 11| pared down smoothly and thinned, but without wounding it. 743 30| either of a single or double thong, and short, like loops, 744 30| easily arranged. And, if thought proper, there is nothing 745 13| resembling the quadrangular threshing-boards made of oak.~ 746 4 | carried the bandage twice or thrice round at the seat of the 747 | through 748 2 | there is one attitude in throwing the javelin, and another 749 2 | ulna, in this position, throws the bones of the forearm 750 6 | arm corresponding to the thumb, so that no splint be laid 751 5 | night he fancies that the tightness does not diminish, but rather 752 10| manifest themselves in the same times, as in the cases formerly 753 12| in a line with the little toe is a little longer. Such 754 9 | place, or a joint of the toes be luxated, or any of the 755 26| the other things should be torn broader than in cases in 756 5 | ought to experience the same train of symptoms as at the former 757 30| rods, made of the cornel tree, of equal length, and of 758 11| continual type, accompanied with tremblings, hiccup, aberration of intellect, 759 25| medicine bears witness to the truth of it, for in a person thus 760 37| formerly stated. But one should try to escape from such cases, 761 25| middle, the part thus left unbandaged would become most swelled, 762 2 | is thus put into the most unbending and extended position possible, 763 16| other. And a board is an uncomfortable thing to have the limb laid 764 27| be any itching below the under-bandages, or in any other part that 765 30| fractured part of the body may undergo proper and not violent extension; 766 15| wounded, necessity subdues the understanding, since the patients become 767 5 | this should be properly understood. Thus the bandaging and 768 7 | again on the third day you undo the bandages, and bind it 769 30| use mechanical means in an unmechanical way.~ 770 21| should be well wrapped in unscoured and carded wool, washed 771 37| be looked upon as upon as unskillful, while by reducing them 772 1 | men are, which I wish to unteach, and what instructions I 773 25| happened, but some other untoward circumstance. Wherefore 774 31| first days, by means of unwashed wool, and there does not 775 7 | necessarily be found distorted upwards; whereas, when both bones 776 27| extremities becomes harder than usual, and if you apply your finger 777 48| immediate reduction is of the utmost advantage, owing to the 778 32| take and give trouble in vain.~ 779 31| information be particularly valuable this is; to which of the 780 45| near the division of the vein that runs up the muscle. 781 14| thigh is wasted, and vice versa. But for the most part the 782 21| unless there be danger of vesications or blackening in the swelling, 783 36| there are many and important vessels situated there, some of 784 14| the thigh is wasted, and vice versa. But for the most 785 11| oxyglyky (a composition from vinegar and honey?). But if the 786 35| treated with compresses and vinous applications, as formerly 787 25| whose mistake it is of vital importance to correct, while 788 3 | pain to the patient when he walks about, nor when he lies 789 40| displaced, pushes it inward ward, and at the same time makes 790 21| unscoured and carded wool, washed with wine and oil, and anointed 791 3 | this attitude. And also a weaker man grasping with his hands 792 14| will find it necessary to wear a bandage for a long time. 793 32| peritrochio, the lever, and the wedge. Without these, one or all, 794 24| binding above them compresses wetted with wine, or greasy wool, 795 35| separate. We must avoid wetting it at the beginning with 796 13| means of thongs, or place windlasses at this extremity and that, 797 29| damped with wine; but if the winter season, plenty of greasy 798 13| opposite directions, but, not withstanding, if they are not sufficiently 799 25| practice of medicine bears witness to the truth of it, for 800 13| to have prepared a proper wooden machine, with all the mechanical 801 32| not perform any of their works which require great force. 802 30| Egyptian leather, such as are worn by persons confined for 803 11| and thinned, but without wounding it. It is not everybody 804 29| double-headed bandage, you are to wrap the part around and proceed 805 13| may prevent the body from yielding to the pulling at the foot, 806 4 | required. In the case of a young person I have known the 807 | your
