worn by Christian, Duke of Brunswick.
Ambrose Pare devised artificial limbs
with movable joints, which were made
for him by artificers, of whom Lor-
raine, a locksmith, was the most
famous. Pare devotes a special chap
ter to the means of repairing or sup
plying natural or accidental defects
in the human body. He describes ar
tiffciar eyes and noses, an artificial
tongue and an artificial palate At a
later period Father Sebastian. Car
melite monk, made movable arms and
hands. In the earlier part of the sew
enteenth century Peter Lowe, in his
'Discourses on the Whole Art of
Chirurgery,' gives representations of
artificial legs. About the middle of
the same century Falcinelli, Floren-
tine surgeon, mentions the use of ar
tificial eyes of silver, gold and crystal
painted in various colors.

THE SURGERY OF THE AN.
GENTS.

What is known to modern dentists
as bridge work was familiar to the
Etruscans, as extant specimens attest,
according to an interesting article in
the British Medical Journal. Plaster
ears, noses and lips were common
among the Indians, where the cutting
off of these features was punishment
much in use. and Greek and Roman
veterans who had lost leg or an arm
in war tried to make good the de-
ficiency by artificial substitutes. 1t is
stated further:
What is said to be the oldest artifi-
cial leg in existence is now in the mu-
scum of the Royal College of Surgeons
of England. 1t was found in a tomb
at Capua. Pliny speaks of a Roman
warrior who, century and half be-
fore the birth of Christ, wore an arti-
manipulate sword. In the Middle
Ages artificial limbs sometimes re-
