f course, be cutaway. Number 3. In this manner of strapping (using oneone-half-inch strip) we have one of the most practical meth-ods in vogue today. A strip about six inches in length isfashioned in the manner of Fig. 9. The wide portion in the strips centre is then ad-hered to the anteriorsurface of tlie shield andthe ends are carriedaround, one on each sideof the toe, in such a man-ner as to allow the nar-rowest portions to criss-cross in the narrow partof the toe web on theplantar surface. Thewide ends are then car-ried around the dorsumof the toe and are over-lapped on the posteriorportion of the shield.This method of applyingthe plaster supplies agreater amount of adhe-sive surface than by theuse of the narrow stripand is just as practical,or more so, in manyways. Number 4. In usingtwo one-half-inch stripsto adhere a shield to the dorsum of the fifth toe, the plasteris fashioned as shown in A and B (Fig. 7). The stripmarked *A is cutabout two inches inlength and split on fig. 9.

The strip A is laid overthe anterior surface of the shield with the split end towardthe inner side of the toe. The anterior one of the two splitends is then drawn tightly over the anterior edge of theshield and adhered to the inner surface of the toe; the re-maining split end is ad-hered over the first andshould also be drawntightly, so that the an-terior portion of theshield is closely bound tothe dorsum of the toe.The rounded end of theplaster strip is then car-ried around the outerside of the toe in such amanner as to allow thenarrow portion of theplaster to rest over thecorresponding narrowpart of the toe on itsplantar surface. Thewide extremity isbrought around to theinner side of the toe andis placed over the splitends already adhered.This binds them securelyto the interdigital sur- Fig. 11. face of the toe. Any s
