3 is my favorite.

Whenever I read it I seem to enjoy all that the patient enjoyed--whatever it was: 3.

"Once at King George's Sound a native presented himself to me with one leg only, and requested me to supply him with a wooden leg.
He had traveled in this maimed state about ninety-six miles, for this purpose.

I examined the limb, which had been severed just below the knee, and found that it had been charred by fire, while about two inches of the partially calcined bone protruded through the flesh.

I at once removed this with the saw; and having made as presentable a stump of it as I could, covered the amputated end of the bone with a surrounding of muscle, and kept the patient a few days under my care to allow the wound to heal.
