1 Anybody who visits the art museums h 1 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 be better, 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 taltcn the place of sandals. The waists of women were not so small In the old timeae 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 feet 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 ClementTonic has greater claims on the gratitude 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 bene ■ flclares, who know that had it not been for thia wonderful remedy their Uvea long ago would have been aac-iflded.
