CHAP. XXVII. Of the Hare-Lip.
THe fourth and last Part of Chirurgery call'd Anaplerosis, which restores what is deficient, is chiefly used when any part of the Nose, Lip, or Ear is wanting, whether it be from the Birth, or from an External Cause,
As to the Lip, in a little defect, let it be first separated from the Gums, then let the edges be scarified and joined together with a Needle, laying over it an aglutinating Plaister, and so in a short time the Cure will be performed.
In a greater Defect, let the Lip be seperated from the Gums, then put a Linnen Cloth between, and let the Extremities be brought together by Bandage, after some few days, convenient Scari∣fication being made, by the help of a Stitch, and Plaisters, let the ends be united.
The Nose and Ears being depriv'd of any part, after what manner they are cured, Taliacotius in a particular Treatise hath largely set down; to the which I refer the Reader.
