Anybody who visits the art museums is struck with the fact that the feet of the ancients seem very large. They do seem so, but measurement proves that for symmetrical proportion they could not and yet

the feet of the modern man and woman are much smaller than those of ancient times. Why is this? The answer is not difficult. Modern fashion and custom have contracted feet to the present small proportions ; shoes have taken the place of sandals. The waists of women were not so small in the old times as in the present age of corsets. The health was then better than in the present day of social demands, household cares and hurried living. Mankind is weaker than it once was, the race degenerates ; we feel depressed, blue, weak and languid, where we were once strong, bright and active. Such modern troubles require the most advanced treatment and the skill of the best physicians, and all scientific authorities declare that Clements Tonic has greater claims on the gratitude of of mankind than all other remedies put together; it has cured countless thousands of serious disease, and saved thousands of valuable lives, its praises are sung throughout the country by hundreds of grateful beneficiares, who know that had it not been for this wonderful remedy their lives long ago would have been sacrificed. Mrs Morton Smith, Maryborough (Q ), writes, n Having for many years lived a life of misery and never during that time to have known a moment’s freedom from pain, I was so grateful for the benefit I have derived from Clements Tonic, that I write the following particulars of my case : - About four years ago I was attacked with facial neuralgia, so acute that I was unable to sleep for seventeen days, I lost flesh very rapidly and was reduced to a shadow, and my family thought the end was near, so weak, pale and? miserable had I become • I could see their anxious looks and hear them sobbing when away from me, but before my face they were all courage and smiles, so thoughtful were they of my feelings. I had three doctors, but they did me no good ; the misery still continued. At last a friend recommended Clements Tonic so strongly that I procured a bottle, and after a third dose the pain was relieved. I confined its use and took a good many bottles and gradually recovered my wasted strength, and am now as well as ever I was in my life. I am sure Clements Tonic is the sole cause of my being aliye, for even the doctors told my family that it would be better to settle my worldly affairs, as the end was near, but thanks to Clements Tonic, they are wrong again,”
