Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marks' Patent Artificial Limbs, With India Rubber Hands and Feet Twenty-three years of arduous, perplexing, anxious, thoughtful and almost incessant labor brings me to this pe riod in a calling, of its importance, dignity and benefits to mutilated humanity, of which others can better speak than myself. It has brought me in contact with all the grades 01 human life and made me a listener to a thousand tales of suffering and distress, sometimes of such a painful nature that my anxiety was only for the end of the story. The old man of seventy years has told me how he lost his leg by his horses taking fright from a stone rolling down the bank, and running away, tearing the carriage to pieces, wounding him in several places, and breaking his leg all to pieces, as he bluntly describes it. The result was amputation above the knee. Others in middle life, too numerous to particularize here, tell the varied histories of their loss; some, yes many, in Battle, and many by the most trifling accidents; but those touching my sympathies most tenderly are the children's stories; one in particular comes up in my mind at the present moment it was a little, rather frail boy of less than ten years his father was a farmer, and was drawing logs the boy was following behind the oxen when they were drawing only the loose log chain, with its long hook dangling at the end; by some means it caught the boy's ankle, and after dragging him for a short distance by the leg, the chain ran through between two stumps, very close together, the result was it took the little fellow' s foot completely off at the ankle.

This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Description of James A. Foster's Patent Union Artificial Limbs: Manufactured at Philadelphia, Pa., Cincinnati, Ohio, Detroit, Michigan, and Rochester, N. Y The war through which we have just passed called into activity the inventive gienious of our people in a remarkable degree, and many kinds of artificial limbs will date their origin from the great struggle of the past six years. The wooden peg leg which was used by the disabled hero, according to the cuts in our old books, is now displaced by the handsomely turned and graceful limb of late inventors. In the case of the loss of a limb, a simple peg or hook is found to be quite useful and easily applied, but is neither graceful nor beau l. The great object now to be attained is to combine those qualities in the limb that will make it practically available in the rough and tumble of every day life, as well as beautiful in form and finish. I believe my Patent Union Leg now stands pre-eminent among its rivals for lightness and durability, combined with beauty of form and finish, affording the wearer the satisfying consciousness, that what he uses to conceal his loss is not a disgusting appendage, but on the con trary, a limb entirely worthy to conceal his loss. After reading the following pages I leave the reader to judge whether I 'have had supe rior advantages in experimenting with the artificial leg. I consider the person, that has suffered an amputation, and, after wearing a limb made by another manufacturer procured one of mine, the best judge for he (not like myself) is only interested in getting the best that is made. I, therefore, earnestly request a perusal of the certificates herewith appended, and, if they have any doubts of their authenticity correspond with any of their authors. Their addresses are given iri full, it will be observed, for that purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Rethinking modern prostheses in Anglo American commodity cultures 1820 1939 written by Claire L. Jones and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the development of modern transatlantic prosthetic industries in nineteenth and twentieth centuries and reveals how the co-alignment of medicine, industrial capitalism, and social norms shaped diverse lived experiences of prosthetic technologies and in turn, disability identities. Through case studies that focus on hearing aids, artificial tympanums, amplified telephones, artificial limbs, wigs and dentures, this book provides a new account of the historic relationship between prostheses, disability and industry. Essays draw on neglected source material, including patent records, trade literature and artefacts, to uncover the historic processes of commodification surrounding different prostheses and the involvement of neglected companies, philanthropists, medical practitioners, veterans, businessmen, wives, mothers and others in these processes.
Download or read book Mending Broken Soldiers written by Guy R. Hasegawa and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The four years of the Civil War saw bloodshed on a scale unprecedented in the history of the United States. Thousands of soldiers and sailors from both sides who survived the horrors of the war faced hardship for the rest of their lives as amputees. Now Guy R. Hasegawa presents the first volume to explore the wartime provisions made for amputees in need of artificial limbs—programs that, while they revealed stark differences between the resources and capabilities of the North and the South, were the forebears of modern government efforts to assist in the rehabilitation of wounded service members. Hasegawa draws upon numerous sources of archival information to offer a comprehensive look at the artificial limb industry as a whole, including accounts of the ingenious designs employed by manufacturers and the rapid advancement of medical technology during the Civil War; illustrations and photographs of period prosthetics; and in-depth examinations of the companies that manufactured limbs for soldiers and bid for contracts, including at least one still in existence today. An intriguing account of innovation, determination, humanitarianism, and the devastating toll of battle, Mending Broken Soldiers shares the never-before-told story of the artificial-limb industry of the Civil War and provides a fascinating glimpse into groundbreaking military health programs during the most tumultuous years in American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical Technology and the Social: How Medical Technology is Impacting Social relations, Institutions, and Beliefs about what is Normal explores the intersection of society and medical technology to examine how medical technology impacts our day-to-day lives. The contributors examine a variety of technologies and their impact on the social world, from older technologies such as the use of fax machines in hospitals to cutting-edge technologies such as Bluetooth-enabled smart pills. Underlying each chapter is a consideration of what is “normal”, investigating such themes as power and social control, diffusion of technology, eco-crip theory, the changing role of medical expertise, the embodiment of the fetus in utero, the history of prosthetics, and how technology has reformed conceptions of a “normal” body.
