Text Appearing Before Image:
o all of my business myself, and do any 346 A. A. MARKS, ARTIFICIAL LIMBS, NEW YORK CITY. kind of work on a farm that any other man can do. Amputation about fourinches above ankle joint. I remain, Yours very respectfully, P. W. Fairey. BELOW-KNEE AMPUTATION. Scarborough, Anderson Co., Tenn., Dec. 6, 1887.Mr. 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. Ihave used your make of legs at nearly all kinds of work, such as plowing*

mk!!///// - No. 291. spading, hauling logs, and other hard work. I have walked twenty-five milesin a single day. The rubber foot lasts longer and takes less repairs than anything I know about. Yours respectfully, Lewis C. Cox. A. A. MARKS, ARTIFICIAL LIMBS, NEW YORK CITY. 347 BELOW-KNEE AMPUTATION. Dec. 17, 1887.Mr. A. A. Marks : Dear Sir :—I will always feel thankful to you for your skill in fitting the arti-ficial leg to me. I lost my right leg at the battle of Nashville, Dec. 15,1864. Ihad used a wooden one until you attached the artificial one, and it would haveamused you to see me back home among my people, to see them eyeing mewith curiosity, wondering how my right leg should have grown out so suddenlywith a foot on it. 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 work you can do,and live long to enjoy the fruits of your inventions. Yours,
