IMPROVEMENT IN ARTIFICIAL L131133'

On Saturday, Feb. 21, meeting of medical and
scientific men took place at the residence of Mr. Grblf
Cork-street, Burlington-gardens, to inspect the recent
improvements and adaptation of artificial limbs.
Amongst the patients whose cases exited the greatest
interest, from the peculiar difficulty attending their I°6l/
of limbo, was Corporal J. Church, late of the Grenadiet
Guards, whose arm was shot off at the battle of Inkerrattat
and who has since been appointed a porter at Windsor
Castle. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness, wit—
,,
their aceustorPed beneficence, put this person under tb°
care of Mr. Gray. The artificial limb was as comPler
a substitute for the natural one as could IA imagioe';
and although the stump to which it is affixed is Ye%
short, by the mechancial contrivances of Mr. Gray m:
is enabled now to perform a variety of things which ar"
perfectly surprising.
Douglas Gardiner, late of the Scots Greys, lost II
le, at Balaklava ; amputation was performed 5130,"
the knee. The man was so respected by the inbai
tants of Oswestry that a subscription was enters
into by them to place him under the care of Mr. Graf'
and her Majesty upon hearing the fact at once
what pleasure it would afford her to contribute to ti'"
subscription to alleviate the sufferings of a brave soldierg
She gave a sum sufficient to make up the prarOm
deficiency of the general subscription. He is now °m,
ployed by the directors at the Ludlow Railway atatio:
and is a very remarkable instance of what the mechanist
of Mr. Gray's apparatus can accomplish.
It will be in the recolleetton of many of our readel
that these are the artificial limbs which in the case °t,
the late Marquis of Anglesey were brought to so grel4%.
a perfection, and Mr. Gray took the opportunity of efor
pressing his obligation to that distinguished officer
the many valuable suggestions and the I;berality
he experienced from his lordship.--3foritinyt Adverilo'

Aug. 7, 1854.—My daughter Virginie had long been Coins
tive, with diarrhoea and night sweats, and was in July last reuedi,
ed to such a state of prostration and exhaustion, that nurAbot
cal men agreed there was no hope of recovery left, an ,Ao•
she could not /survive many days. Upon the reconnno,
tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalenta t
late
which, to the astonishment of all, caused an 'Wiwi:, jot
change for the better in the symptoms. After the fall'ucts
meals she felt less miserable, and in six days the diant,
and night sweats had left her. She gained strength gild,
ally, and in two months time was perfectly well. This e""‘„c;
lent remedy deserves to be more generally known, 7ot
I consider I am only discharging a most to.
