REPAIRING BROKEN BONES.

"A fact that there are many people

A British Actor Who Met General Washington

among many other precious human
documents This rare pen picture OF
Washington occurs in has mind when
he comes to speak of General and
Governor Nathaniel f. Banks because
General Banks as he says is the only
person he had ever met who had seen
the English actor Bernard on the
stage, ana II was this British actor
Bernard who drew this most excellent
lull-length Of George Washington. As
Banks himself had been an actor in
early life for a while Gas his daughter
was after his DEATH his judgment may
be trusted that Bernard was a natural
and pleasing actor, though not "a
great one. Actors habtually notice
the points that make up the impress

a peculiar value

perhaps half an hour is given to fix
ing a broken arm in a splint or Il leg
in plaster, and then nothing more
can be done for a month or two, ex-
cept Tor the patient to enjoy his con-
yaleseence and the surgeon TO come
and look at the bandage and have a
chat about the weather from time to
time.
1t is claimed, however, that If bolts
and screws are used in the treatment
of broken bones the fractured parts
are held together so tightly that the
healing process takes but a short
time. Furthermore. there is less dan
ger of displacement through careless
movement on the part of the pa
tient, as when an ordinary splint is
used.
The method adopted is quite SIM
pie After the broken bone has been
held carefully in position. it Is trans
fixed by long drill from side to
side and into the hole so made is
passed long bolt. which is one-siN-
teonth to one-eishth of an inch in
thickness. according to the size Of
the bone. The head of the bolt car
ries one plate, and another plate is
passed over the opposite end and Sc
cured tightly by nut when the pro
jecting end Of the bolt is cut off.
These bolts and plates are usually
made of a soft steel, and the method
of treatment has been found particu-
larry valuable in the case of broken
leg bones, where the muscular strain
is great.
