CHAP. X. Of the fracture and depression of the Sternon or Breast-bone.
* 1.1THe Sternum is sometimes broken, other whiles only thrust in without a fracture. The in∣equality perceivable by your feeling, shewes a fracture, as also the going in with a thrust with your finger, and the sound or noise of the bones crackling under your fingers. But a manifest cavity in the part, a cough, spitting of bloud, and difficulty of breathing by compressi∣on of the membrane investing the ribs and the lungs, argue the depression thereof. For the re∣storing of this bone, whether broken or deprest, the Patient must be laid on his back with a cushion stuffed with tow or hay under the vertebrae of the back, as we set down in the setting of

the collar-bone: Then a servant shall lie strongly with both his hands on his shoulders, as if he would press them down, whilest the Surgeon, in the mean time pressing the ribs on each side, shall restore and set the bone with his hand; and then the formerly described medicines shall be ap∣plyed for to hinder inflammation, and asswage pain; Boulsters shall be fitted thereto, and a liga∣ture shall be made crosse-wayes above the shoulders; but that not too strait, lest it hinder the Patients breathing. I by these means, at the appointment of Anthony of Burbon King of Navar,* 1.2 cured Anthony Benand a Knight of the order, who had his breast-plate bended and driven in, with an Iron-bullet shot out of a Field-piece, as also his sternum together therewith, and he fell down as dead with the blow; he did spit bloud for three moneths after I had set the bone, yet for all this he lives at this dsy in perfect health.
