14G CASES ILLUSTRATING THE TREATMENT.
regained their strength. The topographical appearance of shoulder
normal.
March im. Treated for the last time, but allowed two days’
rest from work.
The patient was treated once a day for about fifteen to twenty
minutes, with the exception of the 24th and 25th February, and
3rd and 10th of March, when no treatment was given.
XXI. FEACTURE OF THE LOWEE END OF THE EADIUS.
A. E., sailor, 20 years old, working in the engine-room. On

hand. Severe pain, extravasation, and swelling ensued. There

wrist nearly normally, and without any pain. As yet he cannot

that the flexor tendons are clearly seen. Active movements under
light resistance have been started.
Bee. 17th. During the night he had slept on the arm without
any bad consequences. The active movements go better, yet he

at the seat of the fracture on resistance being made. The passive
