My patient walked from my houfe to her own- 
lodgings; her pain not very confiderable, and flie 
recovered, by the common treatment, without any 
bad fymptom. She left this town in fix weeks after 
the operation. 
By ufing her arm too freely when fhe got home, 
the cicatrix was tore open about an inch and a half, 
which retarded its healing for three weeks longer; 
but from that time ihe has remained well. She has 
the perfect ufe of the fore arm ; can raife her elbow 
about live or fix inches from her fide, put her arm 
back, lace her flays, put on her cap, few, and do any 
bufinefs, as well as ever, that does not require the 
elbow to be more raifed. The upper end of the 
humerus plays about an inch below the point of the 
fcapula ; and the procejfus acromion and coracoides 
appear on each fide of the cicatrix , at nearly equal 
diftance. I mention this only to point out more 
exadtly the courfe of my incifion.
