Catalogue of Sharp & Smith : importers, manufacturers, wholesale and retail dealers in surgical instruments, deformity apparatus, artificial limbs, artificial eyes, elastic stockings, trusses, crutches, supporters, galvanic and faradic batteries, etc., surgeons' appliances of every description . ing thatregulates the flexing of foot is made of spiral steel, carefully tempered and soarranged that it can be easily removed and a new spring substituted in case ofbreakage without the necessity of sending limb to our factory. This springdoes not become hard like rubber, but will always remain flexible. We seldomhear of one breaking, and no charge is made for them when wanted to replace abroken one. The toe spring is so arranged that the motion can be regulated to suit bysimply turning a nut inside of foot. Our laces are made of substantial leather, covered inside and out with buck-skin, stitched with silk, and fastened with patent hooks. The weight of these limbs is from 2)^ to 4^^ pounds, according to theweight of the patient. Our artificial foot is fully explained in the cut, and is the most completeapparatus ever applied to what is known as Choparts Operation. We alsoconstruct an apparatus for the extension of shortened limbs. SHARP & SMITH, CHICAGO. •771 ARTIFICIAL
