Description: Text consists of testimonial letters sent to Dr. Bly regarding his artifical leg.
Notes: "By frequent dissections, Dr. Bly has succeeded in embodying the principles of the natural leg in an artificial one, and in giving it lateral, or side motion at the ankle, the same as the natural one; by so doing, he has produced the most complete and successful invention ever attained in artificial legs."
