    Case of Fracture of the Condyles of the Os Humeri. Portsea, March 5tli, Dear Sir, Allow me to recommend to you the bearer, Mrs. Hewett, of Southsea, who met with a severe accident on the 21st of September last, by a fall from a chaise, which occasioned a compound fracture of the left arm, as follows!—the external and internal condyles were fractured longitudinally; the in- termediate space which receives the olecranon was quite com- minuted, and three pieces of bone were extracted soon after the accident from the external wound; there was also a transverse fracture about two inches and a half above the condyles.— Evaporating lotions were applied during the two first weeks, and the case proceeded favourably. I more particularly cali your attention to the wrist of the right arm, which was much injured at the time of the accident, having recommended friction, which I am afraid has been neglected. If time will permit, your opinion of the above case will much o])lige, Your's respectfully, ►hi Thomas Ivimy. This lady has in a great degree re-acquired the flexion and extension of the left arm. A.
