* This, with other cuts of model shoes manufactured by this company, were by 

 special request forwarded to me for insertion among models of good working shoes, 

 but were received too late to be put in proper place. The patentee, Mr. Bryden, is 

 known to me personally as a man of rare skill as a student of the foot. I am in- 

 debted to him for many valuable points on the treatment of the foot, and the shoea 

 manufactured under his supervision are so good in all respects that I would strongly 

 urge upon shoers and others interested to give them a trial.
