TESTIMONIALS.

(From Anthony White. Esq., Parliament-street, one of the
Council, and late President of the Royal College of
Surgeons.)
I can with much' satisfaction recommend to the public the
boot or shoe which is denominated " Impilia." Its peculiar
advantages over all other boots or shoes are, that it is imper-
viable to wet and damp, and always gives an agreeable and
constant warmth to the feet ; is also elastic, and is admirably
adapted to tender and crippled feet from gout or other maladies.
April 6. 1842._ _ ANTHONY WHITE.

(From Dr. Paris, of Dov'er-street, London.)
I have examined and worn with comfort and satisfaction
shoes constructed with intermediate soles of felt, to which you
have bestowed the name " Impilia." They undoubtedly pos-
sess an elasticity and capacity of adaptation to the form of the
foot not possessed by ordinary shoes, and they have the rare
merit of not creaking. They arc, moreover, warm and dry,
and I am not able to discover any objection to their use on the
score of health. J. A. Palm., M.D.

(From J. G. Andrews,'Esq. St. Helen's-place,one ofthe Coun-
cll. and late President of the Royal College of Surgeons.)
1 have worn for some time the new patent boots, called " Im-
pala," with much comfort and satisfaction. I find the boots
possess great elasticity, evenness of pressure, and I am
enabled to walk a greater distance without inconvenience.

(From Dr. Roots, Russell-square, London. )
Dear Sir,—l have now worn for some time a pair of boots
with intermediate soles, which you term " Impilia. ' They are
admirably adapted for the ease and comfort of tender feet, and
the elasticity of their tread is very pleasant. I can with con-
fidence recommend them for general use, while for medical
men they possess the very rare advantage of not creaking, and
consequently are so desirable in a sick room.
W. Baker, Esq., April 25, 1842. H. S. ROOTS, M.D.
( From Dr. Hodgkin, Lower Brook-street, London. )
Having not only examined, but put to the proof of experience,
the patent soles invented by mew friend William Baker,
M. R. C. S., and termed " have no hesitation in say-
ing that they are a very decided improvement on the common
method of construction. They are not only much more
agreeable to the sole of the foot, but promote a warm and uni-
form temperature as well as freedom from damp, whether en-
tering from without or derived from the feet. It may not be
amiss to observe that, to obtain the full benefit of this improve-
ment, it is essential that the pernicious distortion of the foot,
so generally inflicted by the shoemaker, should be carefully
avoided. THOMAS HODGKIN, M.D.

(From John C. Taunton, Esq. , M. R. C. S., 48, Flatton-garden. )
I have worn with satisfaction the boots with the intermediate
soles of " InTpilia. They appear to me to possess advantages
over boots of the usual construction. They are worn with
more comfort, adapt themselves better to the form of the foot,
gnd are impervious to wet. JOHN C. TAUNTON.
