WOODEN LEG WITH JOINTS 



This illustration gives a . good idea 

 of the shell and the internal mechan- 

 ism of a wooden leg of the latest 

 design. Nature is imitated as closely 

 as possible, and the lightness of the 

 limb is surprising. It weighs only a 

 few pounds and there is not an 

 ounce of superfluous material in it. 

 From the catalogue of the Pomeroy 

 Company, New York. 



FACTORY-MADE PEGLEGS 

 Sometimes the peglcg without the ankle joint is preferred or is considered 

 necessary, but the old club that was made on a turning lathe or with a 

 drawing knife has been displaced by a wooden limb which is light, service- 

 able and artistic in appearance. Some of the modern patterns are shown in 

 the above collection from the catalogue of a well-known manufacturer.
