From the preface: 



It is a patriotic impulse that impels the author, a neophyte, to make 

 this effort to explain, as lucidly as he may, this appliance and its proper 

 application. He realizes that it could be taught much better by master 

 to pupil; having the knowledge and art passed on from one to another. 

 It is his hope that this may be done, until the great usefulness and ef- 

 ficiency of this splint becomes known and thoroughly popularized. This, 

 then, is the object of this little book. It is written for men thoroughly 

 acquainted with anatomy and the subject of fractures in general. No 

 effort is made to compile a "big book." It is the desire to be as concise as 

 possible, and with singleness of purpose teach the virtues of the Hodgen 

 extension suspension splint.
