IL Artificial limbs are now made
of willow, covered with parchment.
painted a flesh color, and beautifully
onamcled The knec,joint being a
successful invention of the ball and
socket, avoids the deformity that the
ordinary tendon and morticc-joint
exposes upon bending the limb. The
ankle and oe-ioints are also initiated,
and cords operated by springs, cams
and eccentrics, give great certainty to
the movements of the contrivance.
