The biggy of the late 1800's. Clearly shows the massive inroads in medical science and the treatment of disease.

ALCOHOL AND THE HUMAN BODY In fact alcohol was known to be a poison, and considered quite dangerous. Something modern medicine now agrees with. This was known circa 1907. A very impressive scientific book on the subject.

Dislocations of the Wrist.

Dislocations of the Wrist: This is an unusual accident; violence applied to the hand and wrist frequently occasions a fracture of the radius, but rarely a sepa­ ration of this bone from the wrist.

Signs.-The deformity is so characteristic that no detailed description is necessary ; the ends of the bones of the forearm can be felt and seen above the back of the hand or below the palm. The motion of the joint is lost.

Treatment.-This dislocation can usually be reduced without difficulty in the following way :

An assistant holds the forearm of the patient and pulls gently toward the body, the operator meanwhile grasps the hand and pulls away from the arm, manipulating the dislocated bones at the same time so as to force them into place.

A splint should be applied to the hand and forearm for a week or two after the accident, in order to afford time for the healing of the ruptured ligaments. It is sometimes necessary to apply hot fomentations for some days after the injury.
