BELOW-KNEE AMPUTATION. Scarborough, Anderson Co., Tenn., Dec. 6, A. A. Marks : Dear Sir :—I want to say to you that I am well pleased with the artificialleg furnished by you. I received a leg on government order in the fall of1865, which lasted me about five years, with some repairs. I received one ofyour legs in 1870, and wore it fifteen years with less expense. I consider your rubber feet and hands the best thing yet invented for artificiallimbs. I received a leg from you two years ago, fitted from measurement sentto you. It only lacked a very little lining to make it all right, and I think if Ihad taken the measures as tight as directed it would have lacked nothing.

They were not aware that I had gone to New York to haveyou fit such to me. I walk like any other man, and with as much ease. Athousand thanks to you, and my hope is you may get all the w
