LXVIII Of Fractures which are Bones broken and also of Dislocutions or Joynts displaced with their cure MAny times it happeneth that Legs Armes and Fingers are broken or out of joynt and the Partie so hurt is void of helpe by reason they have no Chirurgion neere them Therefore for the reliefe of such Persons I have here set downe some directions by which they may be eased of their paine But I would not wish them to trust to too much of their own skill if they have any expert Chirurgion neere hand to do it If a Legge or an Arme be broken then have a care to place the Member in the same manner as it was before which you shall doe in this manner Take a Towell and make it fast above the place where it is broken and then take an other Towell and fasten it underneath the place where it is broken then cause two men to pull those two Towels that they may thereby extend or stretch out the Member and when the Member is stretched forth at length place the broken Bones as they were at the first and so by little and little let them slack their pulling Then have a Cloth ready so big that it may compasse the whole Member wet this Cloth
