When
a
Person
Breaks
his
Leg
When
a
person
breaks
his
leg,
and
splints
cannot
he
had
directly,
get
bunches
of
straw
or
twigs,
roll
them
up
in
handkerchiefs,
and
placing
one
on
each
side
of
the
leg
or
arm,
bind
another
handkerchief
firmly
around
them;
or
make
a
long
bag
about
three
inches
in
diameter,
or
even
more,
of
coarse
linen
duck,
or
carpet,
and
stuff
this
full
of
bran,
sawdust,
or
sand,
sew
up
the
end,
and
use
this
the
same
as
the
twigs.
It
forms
an
excellent
extemporaneous
splint.
Another
good
plan
is
to
get
a
hat-box
made
of
chip,
and
cut
it
into
suitable
lengths;
or
for
want
of
all
these,
take
some
bones
out
of
a
pair
of
stays,
and
run
them
through
a
stout
piece
of
rug,
protecting
the
leg
with
a
fold
of
rug,
linen,
&c.
A
still
better
splint
or
set
of
splints
can
be
extemporized
by
cutting
a
sheet
of
thick
pasteboard
into
proper
sized
slips,
then
passing
each
piece
through
a
basin
of
hot
water
to
soften
it.
It
is
then
applied
to
the
fractured
limb
like
an
ordinary
splint,
when
it
hardens
as
it
dries,
taking
the
exact
shape
of
the
part
to
which
it
is
applied.
