If the Coccyx be sunk on the inside, it is to be rais'd with the Fore-finger of the Right-hand put into the Anus; and if the Luxation be on the outside, it may be gently thrust back again. An Account of its proper Dressing and Bandage hath been already given in the Fracture of the Coccyx.

Of the Bunch.
The Bunch is nothing else but an exterior Luxation of the Vertebra's, and for the Cure thereof, it wou'd be requisite to keep Emollients for a long time upon the Vertebra's, to loosen the Ligaments, and to wear Iron-Bodice; which in compressing the Vertebra's by little and little, might perhaps drive 'em back into their Natural Place.

Of the Luxation of the Ribs.
The Ribs are luxated either on the outside, or on the inside: If they be dislocated on the inside, a Cavity is perceiv'd near the Vertebra's, the Patient drawing his Breath with Pain, and not being able to bend his Body.
