Apparatus for Fractured Clavicle. 
DR. FOX’S, IMPROVED BY DR. BARTLETT. 
This Apparatus has been tested in the Massacliu 
setts General Hospital, and by several of our best 
Surgeons, and found to be the most convenient as 
well as the most efficient Apparatus ever used. 
The following Note from Henry G. Clark, M. D., 
City Physician, is proof of its usefulness:— 
Boston, Jan’y 31, 1855. 
Dear Sir—I desire to thank you for the Specimen 
of your Apparatus for Treating Fracture of the 
Clavicle, which you sometime since sent me; and to 
say, that from my experience with it in two or three 
cases since, I consider it by fcur the most convenient 
and efficient Apparatus I have yet seen. 
Yours Truly, 
HENRY G. CLARK. 
Dr. G. Bartlett.
