ARTIFICIAL LIMBS
IN GREAT DEMAND
Legs and Arms Made IN Amsr-
lea For EuTOps's MaInsd.

One effect Of the rayages OF war has
been a call from Europe for American
artificial limbs. One Of the leading
American manufacturers OF artificial
limbs recently returned from a trip to
England and France, having been IN
ytted there to confer with leading sur
eeons, and his report agrees with
those Of the United States department
Of commerce, which indicate there Is
now a tremendous opening In the Eu-
rupean markets for legs and arms
made here
England, France and Russia have
not enough makers Of artificial limbs
In their dominions to supply 10 per cent
Of the number required.
It Is generally admitted-in fact,
there Is no question about ft-that the
