caption 1: One leg is better than
none; but when the re-
construction experts at
the Letterman General
Hospital in San Francisco
are through with this
soldier, he'll have an arti-
ficial mate for the surviv-
ing member of the original
pair that will do everything
except react to a pin-prick
caption 2: Not a diver's dress of a new kind, but the latest thing in ultra-
violet lamps. The ultra-violet rays in the sun are what cause sun-
burn, The patient here will have an artificially sunburnt scalp; his
circulation will be stimulated. The man on the table is trying the
effect of electricity on benumbed muscles with excellent results
caption 3: Queer little cells that receive the patient's
body and leave his head outside. It’s the
electric-bath part of the great system of
rebuilding those men that war hes wrecked
caption 4: Notice how large a part elec-
tricity plays in the work of
reconstruction. Electric heat
softens stiff, inflamed joints
caption 5: Giving the water cure to a man whose nerves
are war-wrecked. The patient remains in the
bath for hours at a time. His attendant is
taking the temperature of this strange bed
