Enquire within upon everything by Robert Kemp Philp

To apply a single-headed bandage, lay the _outside of the end_ near to the part to be bandaged, and hold the roll between the little, ring and middle fingers, and the palm of the left hand, using the thumb and forefinger of the same hand to guide it, and the right hand to keep it firm, and pass the bandage partly round the leg towards the left hand. It is sometimes necessary to reverse this order, and therefore it is well to be able to use both hands. Particular parts require a different method of applying bandages, and therefore it is necessary to describe the most useful separately; and there are different ways of putting on the same bandage, which consist in the manner the folds or turns are made. For example, the _circular_ bandage is formed by horizontal turns, each of which overlaps the one made before it; the _spiral_ consists of spiral turns; the _oblique_ follows a course oblique or slanting to the centre of the limb; and the _recurrent_ folds back again to the part whence it started.
