so as to give a hard under surface
for the metal to begr upon. 1t is best
to use annealed metal in this case.
The band lies an inch, or even two,
over the fracture, thus forming kind
of sheath. Screws are used to fix the
band in place, and these are of the
same metal.
The authors cite three cases OF
fracture which they treated success

restored to their original shape so
that the members could be used as
before. Aluminium has several advan-

Boris Sidis, one of the leading

stone blind.
In his essay, "Philistine and
