chief is folded in the form of a cravat, and the body 

 is so placed on the point of the heel that the portion 

 on the outer side of the foot is one-third longer than 

 the other portion. The short part is held parallel 

 with the sole of the foot while the long part is carried 

 across the instep, turned round the inner part, carried 

 back under the sole of the foot and looped round its 

 own side. The two ends are then tied together for 

 the purpose of exerting traction. 

 Handkerchief-Dressing. A form of temporary dress- 

 ing for wounds and fractures made of handkerchiefs. 

 There are two varieties, viz., cravats, in which the 

 handkerchiefs are folded into rolls like cravats ; and 

 triangles, the handkerchiefs being folded diagonally in 

 the form of triangles. The most important cravats are 

 the following : C, Abdomino-inguinal ; two hand- 

 kerchiefs are folded into cravats and their ends 

 tied together. The body of one is placed beneath the 

 thigh, close up to the nates ; the ends are brought to 

 the front, crossed over the groin, then carried round the 

 opposite sides of the body, and tied together on one 

 side rather than behind, so that the knot shall not press 

 injuriously upon the back. C, Axillo-acromial. 

 See C. , Parieto-axillaris. C, Axillo-cervical ; the 

 body of the cravat is placed in the axilla, the ends 

 crossed over the shoulder, and tied on the opposite sides 

 of the neck. C . , Cervical ; a handkerchief is formed in- 

 to a cravat, the body placed on the front, back, or sides 

 of the neck, according to the part to be dressed, the ends 

 are carried around, crossed on the opposite side and re- 

 turned, and fastened with pins. C, Compound Bis- 

 axillary ; for this two handkerchiefs in cravat form are 

 required. One is tied as an axillo-acromial cravat through 

 one axilla, while the body of the other is placed in the 

 opposite axilla, and its ends, being brought across the 

 chest, one in front and the other behind, are passed 

 through the loop of the first and tied in front of the 

 breast. C, Compound Bis-axillo-scapulary ; 

 form two handkerchiefs into cravats. Tie one as a 

 loose ring, or form the axillo-acromial cravat of one 

 side, and, placing the body of the other in front of the 

 opposite shoulder, bring the ends back, one over the 

 shoulder and the other through the axilla ; then form 

 these into a single knot, and complete the dressing by 

 passing the ends through the ring or loop of the other 

 cravat, and tying them into a knot. C, Fronto-oc- 

 cipito-labialis ; the handkerchief is formed into a cra- 

 vat and the middle portion is placed upon the forehead ; 

 the ends are carried back, crossed upon the posterior 

 part of the neck, brought forward- under the ears and 

 crossed over the upper lip. This is used to approximate 

 lip- wounds. C, Ilio-inguinal, a double cravat, also 

 called the sacro bi-crural cravat of Mayor. The body 

 of a long cravat is placed over the body of the sacrum, 

 the two extremities are brought around the body down 

 in front of each groin and around the thighs, to be fastened 

 on the opposite side of the body. C, Ilio-inguinal, 

 or the cruro-pelvic cravat of Mayor. The body of a 

 large cravat is placed over the inguinal region, the up- 

 per extremity is carried around the body, the lower ex- 

 tremity around the thigh, and the two ends knotted in 

 front. C, Metatarso-malleolar ; place the body d 

 the cravat obliquely across the dorsum of the foot ; 

 carry one end under the foot and up in front of the 

 ankle, and the other around the leg above the mal- 

 leoli, fastening them together in front of the joint. 

 C, Parieto-axillaris ; one handkerchief is formed 

 into a cravat, and its' body is placed in the axilla, the 

 ends tied over the shoulder, forming the axillo-acromial 

 cravat. A second handkerchief is made into a tri- 

 angle, and its body placed over the side of the head, 

 and its ends tied into the first over the shoulder. It i*
