bandages than of their tightness。 We relax first the part most
requiring it； and have recourse to that kind of friction which will
promote the growth of flesh； and to affusion。 No splints。
25。 Those things which are for the purpose of giving support and
strength to the part； as to the breast； side； head； and so forth；
are used in such cases as the following： for pulsations； that there
may be no motion in the part； and in separation at the sutures of
the skull； in order to give support； and in order to strengthen the
chest and head； in coughs； sneezings； and other movements。 In all
these cases the same measure of bandaging is to be observed； for where
the injury is； there the bandage should compress most； and something
soft is to be placed below that suits with the complaint； and we
must not apply the bandages tighter than just to stop the pulsations
from creating disturbance； and that the separated parts at the sutures
may be brought into contact； they must not be such as absolutely to
stop the coughs and sneezings； but so as to give support； and； without
occasioning uneasiness； prevent the parts from being shaken。
