8oooj ojolts and jars a day

H<EE average man takes 5000
 steps every day. Every step
 x he takes acts as a hammer blow to his nervous system if he wears hard leather heels.
 Leather heels served their purpose when we walked on country paths. Then the ground itself cushioned the blows of walking.
 But today our streets have only hard pavements. The jolts and jars from these modern pavements are one of the great causes of fatigue. They add just that much more to the strain of daily life.
 You can do much to prevent that tired-out condition which results from the shocks of pounding hard heels on still harder pavements. O'Sullivan's Heels absorb the shocks that tire you out. They relieve the jolts and jars that make burden of walking.
