Plate 1 is of an osteoclasis Dr. Cabot fashioned after Rizzoli's instrument which he saw while traveling in Vienna in 1876. His first use of the device was on the tibia of a four year old girl after etherization. She responded to the therapy but died three months later from a "general miliary tuberculosis."
Plate 2 is of a longitudinal sectioning of the tibia.
