Now il is asserted that the small toe
OF the human root will be crowded out
at existence by the end OF the present
century. Such is the view Of chiropo-
diSts generally and of physicians who
have given the matter more than pass
inS consideration.
Just as. according to Darwin. the
tail was crowded out OF the human
nony skeleton many ages back because
| il had absolutely no useful function
| to perform: just as the rermifOrm ap-
pcndiX. the only apparent function of
which is to nCccSsitate dangerous and
expensive operations. will eventually
find no place in human anatomy, SO,
according to present indications, the
little toe must ultimately disappear
altogether.
The conditions prevailing at the pres
cnt day are such. indeed, that but
short period OF evolution will he nccos-

in the human system. The little toe is
