eral Health 4 Affected by the
Condition Of the Feet.

In the past the uoual method Of taking
l an impression Of the feet has been With
the aid Of plaster Of paris, and from the
impression thus obtained Q metal arch
was made. and, IN . great many cases.
that metal was worn In the shoe without
covering Of any description An ap-
porofus has been invented which ipfmod-
ern IN every way. and 20 entirely new

been able to patent II in Its entirety.
thus making 1t impossible for any
one to use his machines unless they
had authority from him to do 30.
He has been able to successfully demon
sttrate that II will entirely cure the great
majority Of cases of eo-called muscular
|rheumatism. with all its accompanying
aches and pains The method has proved
SO eficacious in the treatment and cure
Of nervous prostration, headaches irri-
liability. sieeplessness. pains. or aches in
the back and limbs. az well as stin
Knees, "hat-foot" and innumerable other
diseases. that we have received testimo-
nlals from people in all walks of life, IN
Guiding great many physicians and sur
geons. the majority of whom have been
treated by this method themselves, and
IT Is a weil-known fact that no physician
or surgeon will indorse any method of
treatment until he knows positively that
it is eficacious.
II is a common belief that unless one
has "fat-foot" their trouble cannot be Z
caused by the feet. By actual knowledge
We claim that those people who have ex-
ceptionally high arches suffer more than
those whose feet have become fat. Very
often people become ''dat-footed" In their
infancy, and In that case deny most en-
phatically. in a great many cases, that
they have ever had any great pain. Very
often the first symptoms Of .'fat-foot'
are palms and cramps in the calf of the
leg. or a soreness right under the heel
These are the two most common symp-
toms. aside from corns, callouses bun
ions, or cold, sweaiy feet.
We always try to be conservative in
our statements. and in one of our ar
ucles We claimed that probably 21000
people In the city Of Washington alone
were in need of our services. The Buff
falo Express. under date Of March /, 1872,
publishes information that Ia really start
ling. "Out of seventy-three applicants
for enlistment in the Marine Corps dur
ing February at the local recruiting sta
tion but three We're accepted. More than
30 per cent of the applicants were re-
jected because they had fiat feet" Al
lowing that 30 per cent of the population
Of this city are IN need OF our services
and that there are 3ooNo people In the
city of Washington, It would mean that
las.oo. instead Of co0oO. needed our treat
inent Tor "fat-foot" alone. In reality.
the percentage of foot troubles among
the civilized peoples is 6 per cent. ac-
cording to statistics few years ago,
and foot troubles have been steadily In
since then
We are the only people who can use
these machines, SO do not be persuaded
that some one else has something Just
as good II you have any aches and
pains 1t would be much better for you
to come and consult with our physician
In charge. which costs you nothing, and
after We have made an examination we
can and will tell you positively whether
We can cure you and the probable
L nsth of time IL will take to do il.
