    • I had a medical supply catalog from a medical supply house in Pittsburgh that was put out in 1921- complete with a price list inside a sleeve. Some scary stuff in there- the "convalescent chairs" were wicker, wood, and steel! Of course, the leg braces were leather and metal. They had some "one size fits all" prosthetic legs as well! But, I figured, I would leave it for someone who might appreciate it more!

    • AAAAAAAHHHHH! No wonder women never wanted to have pelvic exams. These looks like horrifying medieval torture devices. I'm glad medical technology has come such a long way.
