saying that the leg hurt him. asked if
he had walked much, and he said that
he hadn't. He had only gone to T~en-
ty-second street, and carried trunk to
the Van Buren, Street depot, and then
tramped over to Lincoln Park. I told
him we'll mans good leg would have

youngest child to whom ever fitted .

old, whose leg was cut of close to the
hip. He is the iveliest boy
in the school to-day, uses
no cane or crutch and makes al
his playmates chary of getting within
range Of the wooden foot when he be-
comes angry. Another man had both
legs cut of by railroad train two years
ago, p when he came the other day to

that he had been skating. He said he

repaired. He began dancing, and asked
me to guess which leg was the artificial
one. watched him, and said it was the
right one. He said I was right, but
pulled up his trousers and showed me
that both his legs were artificial. The
oldest man I ever treated was ~ years
of age. I fitted him with the left leg,
which was cut off above the knee.
