Madam eyed him keenly for a moment; then, "Go ahead," she commanded. A chorus of protests from the surrounding group only deepened her determination. "It's my leg," she said irritably. "If he knows how to splint it, let him do it. I want to be taken upstairs."
As we neared the house, after a moment's hesitancy, I asked him to come and rest on the little porch, where a couple of splint rockers and a palm-leaf fan invited one to comfort and coolness. He accepted the invitation with alacrity, though he chose to sit on the wooden steps, while I tilted lazily back and forth, overcome by the noonday lull and heat.
In less time than it can be told in, the set finger was bound securely with its neighbouring finger to the padded splint, and the whole neatly bandaged with the torn linen, the entire procedure accomplished with the rapidity and skill of the practised hand. No amateur surgery this, as Georgiana understood well enough. "There," said Mr.
They used his cane and a broken-off bough to splint the leg; they wrapped him in a horse-blanket and hauled him back to "Greyrock" and put him to bed, with Dearest clinging solicitously to him. The fractured leg knit slowly, though the physician was amazed at the speed with which, considering his age, he made recovery, and with his unfailing cheerfulness.
Torn into strips, they will make excellent bandages, while for a splint " "The cove," I said, "is ideal. Its sand is a field of lilies, its sea perfumed, its boulders sweet-smelling cushions."

"Now, look here, old man," he said, "I've got two arms and a revolver, and you've got one arm and a splint. If Hotchkiss is right, and there is a row, you crawl under a table." "The deuce I will!" I declared scornfully. We crowded out of the elevator at the fourth floor, and found ourselves in a rather theatrical hallway of draperies and armor.
However, frequently splints occur on both forelegs at the same time and in some instances exostoses are several in number upon each member affected. In some instances, the affection involves the outer splint bone and no evident involvement of the inner one exists. Treatment. At the onset complete rest should be provided and the local application of some good cataplasm is in order.
Then she tore several yards of ruffle from her white petticoat, cut his trouser leg off below the knee, cut the lacings of his boot, and bandaged his broken leg to the splint she had made. All that was against a series of most courteous protests, made in a tearful voice. When she had done, Aladdin took her hand in his and kissed the fingers.
But when the corset splint is applied to the body of the young girl, it supplants the functions of the abdominal and back muscles, which is to hold the trunk erect, and these muscles gradually grow weak and waste. And so the liability to the various spinal curvatures is increased. The original object of the corset was to give greater prominence to the hips and abdomen. But fashions change!
