Manual of Artificial Limbs

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Manual OF artificial limbs is the title given to this book to distinguish it from the Treatise and all other publications Which it succeeds and supplants. It is in no sense a catalogue, although con taining the information usually given in catalogues; but it is a true manual of the subject of prothesis and the most exhaustive work ever produced on, that topic. Prothesis or prosthesis 1s defined by Webster as The process of adding to the human body some artificial part in place of one that may be wanting.
