The remarkable good effects in the cafes above- 
mentioned, induced me to try the fame in different 
fradures of the leg, as well compound as ffmple ; in 
all which I have found it toanfwer my expectation. 
I have formerly explained this method of treating 
fractures to many gentlemen of the profeflion, as well 
as to yourfelf ; and have alfo had feveral cafes where 
other furgeons have been concerned with me, who 
have in general expreffed great Satisfaction (and fome 
of them have introduced it into their own practice) ; 
fo that I have reafon to believe it would have become 
more general, if the instruments, that have hitherto 
been fold for that purpofe had been made according 
to the original pattern ; but the workman, whom I 
employed, has made and fold many that differ from 
mine in fome effential points. I have therefore 
thought it neceffary to fend you, inclofed, a description 
of the inftrument, made after fuch a manner as I have 
found by experience to Succeed beft. 
I am, with great eSteem,
