your Patent Leg, leaves me no reason to doubt
that It deserves all that has been said in its praise
am convinced that it is the BEST Patent Leg in
the world, and l shall be glad to learn that my

as to select this incompatible substitute. My
limb was amputated within two inches of the

the great superiority OF your benefcent invention
and send others to you for relief


Very truly, your obedient servant,

Sunaowers are easily grown a.

is very healthy, giving to the hair
