HAPTODYSPHORIA 



ear on the sound side, where it is made to meet the 

 upper end, the two being tied together. T., Bi-tem- 

 poral, a form of handkerchief head-dressing, the base 

 being placed over the temporal region upon one side and 

 the apex over the other. The ends are carried round to 

 the opposite temple, crossed, brought back, and secured 

 with pins, and the summit or apex is turned up and 

 pinned above the temporal ridge. T., Fronto-occi- 

 pital, a variety of handkerchief-dressing in which the 

 base is placed over the forehead, while the summit is 

 allowed to hang down over the occiput. The ends are 

 next carried backward along the sides of the head, 

 above the ears, and either tied behind the occipital pro- 

 tuberance, or crossed, brought forward, and pinned at 

 each side. The apex is then turned forward and pinned 

 to the body of the handkerchief. T., Malleolo- 

 phalangeal ; form the handkerchief into a triangle ; 

 place the base under the foot opposite to the instep ; 

 fold the summit back over the toes and the dorsum of 

 the foot, and carry the ends round the malleoli, mak- 

 ing them fast in front. Tie the ends in front, or cross 

 them over the dorsum and tie under the sole of the foot. 

 T., Mammary ; fold a handkerchief into a triangle ; 

 place its base under the breast and its apex over the 

 corresponding shoulder ; then carry one end under the 

 axilla and the other over the opposite side of the neck, 

 tying the two behind the scapula of the affected side, 

 and pin to these the summit. T., Oblique, of the 

 Arm and Chest ; the base of the triangle is placed 

 under the wrist, the apex being allowed to project 

 beyond the elbow. The extremity that is next to the 

 chest is carried over the opposite shoulder, the other 

 extremity being passed through the axilla of the injured 

 side and tied with the first extremity over the sound 

 shoulder. The apex is folded backward around the 

 elbow and fastened. T., Occipito-frontal ; the same 

 as the fronto-occipital, only that the handkerchief is re- 

 versed, the base being placed over the occiput. T., 

 Occipito-sternal ; one handkerchief is formed into a 

 triangle and another into a cravat. The latter is tied 

 around the chest, forming the sterno-dorsal cravat. 

 The body of the former is placed over the occiput and 

 its apex over the forehead. The ends are brought 

 down on each side of the face and fastened to the cravat 

 about the chest. The apex is turned backward over 

 the vertex, and pinned. T., Palmar; the base of the 

 handkerchief is placed across the back or the front of 

 the wrist, according as it is designed to dress the palm 

 or dorsum of the hand ; the summit is folded back upon 

 the wrist, and secured there by carrying the ends 

 around the same. T., Scroto-lumbar. See T., 

 Suspensory. T., Simple Brachio-cervical ; the arm 

 being flexed at a right-angle the base of the triangle is 

 placed under the wrist, and the two extremities are tied 

 around the neck, the knot being thrown to one side. 

 The apex is brought round the elbow and pinned in 

 front. T., Suspensory ; Scroto-lumbar Triatigle ; 

 fold one handkerchief into a cravat and tie it around 

 the loins ; form another into a triangle, the base of 

 which should be placed under the scrotum, and the 

 extremities brought up, passed beneath the circular 

 cravat and tied in front. The apex is next carried up, 

 passed beneath the abdominal cravat and turned down in 

 front, where it may be fastened with a pin. T., Vertico- 

 mental, a form of handkerchief head-dressing in 

 which the body of the handkerchief is placed over the 

 vertex, the ends brought down over the ears and crossed 

 under the chin, carried upward and pinned to the de- 

 scending portion of the handkerchief. The apex is 

 brought round one side of the head, and secured with 

 a pin. The Triangular or Hunter's Cap of the 

 Head ; a piece of material is secured, with the side 



sufficiently long to pass over the head and fasten under 

 the chin. First fold it transversely across until one 

 side is within an inch of the opposite side ; the short side 

 is then placed beneath ; the two corners of the folded 

 edge are turned inward, forming a triangle. The two 

 extremities of the triangle are taken in either hand, and 

 while kept tense are twisted and rolled up to the extent 

 of two inchej. Lifting the bandage and approxi- 

 mating the hands cause the two sides to separate. It 

 is placed on the head with the thin edge over the fore- 

 head and the rolled edge around the back of the neck. 

 The ends are brought under the chin, and tied.
