| References: | The Letter of Marque, page 273 Clarissa Oakes, page 121 The Thirteen-Gun Salute, page 91 The Nutmeg of Consolation, page 192 |
| Meaning: | William Eton, an Englishman and former consul in Basra, wrote a letter to a doctor in Petersburg describing how an Arabian soldier's broken leg was treated with plaster of Paris. The letter was written in 1798 and appeared in some European medical papers, but many years passed before plaster of Paris was applied on a large scale in Europe. The technique consisted of pouring plaster pulp into a mould in which the broken leg was laid in the correct position. |
