    		Buck's Method or Buck's Extension -- Long after the publication of the articles referred to, and after this treatment of fractures had proved successful, Dr. Gurdon Buck, of New York, conceived the idea of carrying out this principle by using weights and pulleys as the extending force, and of effecting counter-extension by means of a small elastic india-rubber perineal belt.
