STRANGE MALFoRMArroN.-Asho short time ago
mention was made in these columns of three
legged man named George Lppert, residing at
aged thirty-three years. Last week DIR. Mo
Farland, a prominent physician of Tiffin, took
Lippert to the Good Samaritan Hospital, Gin
cinnati, where he was exhibited before o class
of students. The malformation, or third leg,
starts out or commences at the hip in the right
side of the body. It is doubled up and Lip
pert sits on it, and there are six toes on this
foot. The leg which is used for the purpose
of locomotion on the right side has . foot with
but one toe on it, and is q sort OF club-foot.
When boy, and up to the time he was eight
years old, Lippert wore one shoe or boot on
both feet, that on the right side Of his body,
The most perfect leg OIL the right side is the
one that is bent up, the other one on the same
side being shrunken and having but one bono
in it. The man has wonderful control over the
six toes that are on the extra leg, being able
to move and work them about with the ease
and pliability of fingers. When quite young
boy Lippert commenced to bend the leg up SO
! as to hide it from the gaze of the boys of the
village where he lived, as they we're in the
habit of ridculing him on account of his de-
formity. DIR. Dawson, who has examined the
man, although not able to determine where the
superfluous limb is Joined, is of the opinion
that it can be removed without injury to him.
HIS parents are both perfectly healthy people,
,, and he himself is strong and hearty, and is q
man of more than ordinary education, being
able to speak several languages.
