Excerpt from A Practical and Systematic Treatise: On Fractures and Dislocations

On account of the roller bandage being too often applied improperly, I have endeavored to enforce a due consideration of the dangers attendant upon its careless application; and have urged the importance of employing as light dressings in each lesion as are compatible with efficiency.

Lotions of various kinds which have generally been used in the treatment of fractures do not meet with my approval, for the reason that they induce vesications and render the patient uncomfortable in many ways. A bandage which is occasionally wetted will not maintain equable pressure, and may become the source of perilous constrictions.
