We call the attention OF our readers to
the advertisement Of the Palmer Patent
Arm and Leg. There are thousands OF
persons in the South who are now unable to
do much for their ewn support on account
of being crippled by the loss of an arm OF
leg. To such persons the advertisement OF
Prof. PALMER is of the greatest consequence
His artificial limbs arc i'y far the best of
any now known, and-arc durable. So per-
feet are they that thousands of people wear
them without the fact being suspected. We

not fail to write to or cal! upon Prof. PAL

PALMER ARM AND LEG.

THESE celebrated artificial limbs are again
i brought to the attention of the MEDICAL
FACULTY and people Of the South By the Original
Inventor. They have been twenty three years
before the public, and have secured, both in this
country and EUROPE, the unqualified endorse
ment of the MOST DISTINGUISHED SURGEONS OF
THE WORLD, MORE THAN HUNDRED OF WHOM
HAVE GIVEN PUBLIC TESTIMONY.
The Society de Chirurgie of Paris, perhaps the
first surgical tribunal oil the world, after twelve
years investigation, pronounced decidedly In favor
OF the unquestioned superiority of the PALMER
LIMBS.
FIFTY GOLD and SILVER MEDALS Tor "frst
prizes') including the GREAT MEDALS OF the
WORLDS EXHIBITIONS, have been awarded
to DR.. Palmer.
DR.. Palmer directs the manufacture of his Pa
TENT LEG and ARM, aided BY men OF the best
qualifications and greatest experience. He lie
specially commissioned by the Government and
has the patronage of the prominent Officers of
the Army and Navy. TWENTY GENERALS,
North and South, and more than o thousand less
distinguished officers and soldiers of BOTH AR.
MIEs, have worn the Palmer Limits on active
duty, while still greater numbers OF eminent CIV
lians are by their and, filling important positions,
and effectually concealing their misfortune-the
whole number reaching TEN THOUSAND PERSONS

DIR. B. FRANK PALMER-Dedr Sir:-It affords
me much pleasure to acknowledge the great suo-
cess of your professional treatment in my case,
which is one of the most difficult Kind to treat,
my foot being amputated BY the ChOpart method.
The mechanism is complete in all respectsEight,
comfortable and strong-and I aoaik perfectly. I
am convinced, after careful examination of great
number of patents, that the PALMER limbs are
superior to all Others, and strongly recommend
the adoption OF them by my mutilated comrades
of the South, feeling assured thatno other manu-
facturer can produce limb SO perfect.
Very respectfully - 49,

Having acted as Netlicdl Director during three
years OF the war, it became my duty TO give Or
ders for artificial limbs to mutilated soldiers,
and as DIR. Is. F. PALMER'S LIMBS acre great
ly preferred, large majority Of the orders mere
giUen him to furnish the necessary limbs. So
far as my knowledge extends, the limbs furnish
ed by DIR. Palmer have given most satisfaction,
and this also is the testimony Of hospital stewards
and non. commissioned officers Oh duty at the va
rious hospitals in my charge, who haze had op-
portunities OF seeing the men after they had re-
ceived and used the limbs furnished to them !;
and have therefore no h esitation in saying that
In my opinion, they are preferable TO all Others.
