echanical movements and
manipulations, is almost indispensable in these cases. It never fails to
give relief, and, if properly pursued, invariably results in a permanent
cure.
DEFORMED FEET, HANDS AND LIMBS.
There are thousands whose feet, hands, and limbs are almost entirely
useless, besides having an unsightly appearance. Their condition has
been helpless so long, their treatment so varied, and their hopes of
relief or cure have been so often disappointed, that few can believe the
truth of our statement, when we positively assert that we can correct
and cure nearly all cases of talipes, club, or crooked feet and deformed
hands, and make them as perfect in appearance, and as useful in action,
as feet and hands which have never been deformed. While this may seem
miraculous, or even impossible, to those who are unacquainted with the
wonderful improvements and rapid progress made in this department of
surgical science, it is attested and verified by living witnesses whose
feet and hands were once deformed and useless, but which have been made
perfect by our new and improved method of treatment. We do not make
these statements in a spirit of vain boastfulness, but having devoted
many years to improving and perfecting surgical appliances and
apparatus, and having had practical experience in the successful
treatment of thousands of cases, we do say that our manner of treatment
is original and employed only by us. We entirely ignore the ineffectual
methods usually employed in such cases. Our treatment causes no pain,
and little inconvenience, yet the curative results are speedy and
certain, and a hundredfold more satisfactory than those obtained by any
other course.

We have most thoroughly tested all the best forms of treatment
heretofore devised and employed in this class of diseases, and have
adopted the best features of all the various methods heretofore pursued.
We have combined these with our own improvements and, as the result, we
have perfected a thorough and efficient system of treatment, based upon
scientific principles.
