    EXPLANATION OF THE SKETCH. Fig. I.—Shows the bloody incision on the left arm about 3 inches in length, of an inch deep, where the remedy has been inocu- lated. Fig. II.—Shows a bloodless incision on the right shoulder blade, the incision is about 4 in- ches in length and ^ of an inch deep ; in the progress of the malady it is often the case that very little blood—or none at all—oozes from the wound. The knot of the bandage should be on the forder part, namely on the chest, not to incommode the patient. Fig. III.—Presents my left hand, with the ripe pus- tule near the index ; on the small finger is the galvanic ring I use to wear cons- tantly. Fig. 1Y.—Is the bistoury, or surgical knife, or scal- pel for inoculation. Fig. V.—Is a bandaged calve. Fig. YI.—Is the bandage itself, about 1 to ]l yard in length, 2 inches in breadth, the | or J-rds open. First is applied the end a on the piece of rag over the wound, winding it up, one of the ends b must be turned back- wards so as to cross the other end b, and the knot must be so as not to come over the wound, neither to incommode the patient. Fig. VII. and VIII.—Shows the ligatures of some pieces of cloth or strings, which in cases of cramps in the limbs must be tied as tight as the patient can bear, and as soon as the cramps cease, they must be loosened or taken of altogether.
