No Directory was published in Philadelphia before the year 1785 ; the Houses were not numbered until 1790. Clement Biddle, who was then United States Marshall, is be-, lieved to have given numbers to the houses at the time he was taking the Census, and while thus engaged collected the names for a Directory, which was published in 1791. Two Directories were published in each of the following years-1785, 1811, 1817 and 1837.

OF THE
METALLIC SKELETON
ARTIFICIAL LEG, ANKLE SUPPORTER,
AND
IMPROVED ANATOMICAL MACHINERY
FOR THE
Treatment of Deformities.
The Metallic Skeleton Limb is light, neat, strong, and durable, it is constructed of steel ribs, and rings, or bands, united together upon the principle of a lattice bridge, or arch, one piece bracing and sustaining the other, rendering it capable of bearing any required weight ; the socket or receptacle of the stump being open below, allows a free circulation of air, keeping it always cool and healthy, thereby preventing ulceration, which is almost invariably the consequence when the stump is confined in air-tight sockets.
The motions of the knee and ankle joints approach so near to nature as to render it almost impossible to dis- tinguish it from the natural limb, and it can be adapted to every form of amputation, and worn without the least difficulty.
No stronger proof can be given of its superiority than the fact that it has been examined and approved of by all of the eminent Surgeons and Physicians in Philadelphia, and elsewhere, to whom we take pleasure in referring at all times.
The Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics Association, the American Institute, New York, and the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, have awarded Silver Medals to Yerger & Ord, for the Skeleton Leg and Deformity Ap- paratus constructed by them. The public are cautioned against a certain party who is endeavouring in vain to bolster up his shackling business by circulating a petty species of slander, which has been justly refuted by an overwhelming patronage from those he expected to win, by pursuing a course too far beneath the character of a man for us to notice in detail.
Every information in reference to the Metallic Leg, Ankle Supporter, and Instruments for Deformity, will be given, on application personally, or by letter (post paid) to No. 7 Phoenix Block, South-west corner of Second and Dock Streets, Philadelphia.
