Although a man may lose both of his legs, he is not necessarily helpless. By using artificial legs applied, with rubber feet attached, he can be restored to his usefulness.
The engraving is from an instantaneous photograph of a man ascending a ladder. He has two artificial legs substituting his natural ones, which were crushed by a railroad accident and amputated. With his rubber feet he can ascend or descend a ladder, balance himself on the rungs, and have his hands at liberty. He can work at a bench and earn a good day's wages. He can walk and mingle with persons without betraying his loss; in fact, he is restored to his former self for all practical purposes.
With the old method of complicated ankle-joints these results could not be so thoroughly attained.
