. A treatise on artificial limbs with rubber hands and feet ... No. No. 557. Cut No. 554 represents a long thigh stump, the extremity insuffi-ciently protected to admit of end-bearing,Cut No. 555 represents a similar but longer stump. The extremity 58 A. A. MARKS, ARTIFICIAL LIMBS, NEW YORK CITY. of the femur protrudes and is covered merely by cicatricial tissue,extremely sensitive, incapable of bearing pressure or enduring: No. 556 represents a long thigh stump, well-protected extremity,capable of bearing pressure. Cut No. 557 represents a similar stump,well-protected extremity, end-bearing. It will be observed from thecut that the stump habitually inclines forward on account of contrac-tion of the flexors. This, although a slight inconvenience at the begin-ning, disappeared a short time after the stump was put into active useby the wearing of an artificial limb.
