WHY FOOT TORTURES NEVER TROUBLE THE WORLD’S CHAMPION WALKER. Edgar C. Horton, official holder of twenty-six long-distance walking records, says he depends upon iteudel Bath Saltrates to keep his feet in World’s Championship Condition. In spite of the terrific and longcontinued strain to which they have been subjected for several years, it would probably be impossible to find feet to equal in physical condition those possessed, by Edgar C. Horton, amateur champion long-distance walker of the world. Not a corn, callouse, or t'other blemish mars them. Like the rest of this endurance marvel’s wonderful physique, his feet are sound as the proverbial bell, and never show the slightest sign of any weakness. Was this always the case? It was not. Before the time Horton began to set up world’s records, which his nearest competitors have seldom been able even to approach, he says foot fatigue, aching, burning, soreness. corns, callouses, etc., also sharp pains in his legs, were the bane of his life. This meant the difference ■between his success or failure as an athlete, so something simply had to be done to get rid of them and stay rid of them. In a recent article Horton Bars that ever since he commenced to rest his feet occasionally in tho medicated and oxy-genated foot-bath instantly produced by adding Reudel Bath Saltrates, foot. misery and. other muscular aches, pains, and stiffness have been only unpleasant memories to him. A half-pound can be had at little cost from any chemist, and no home should be without it, because when needed it is needed quickly.— Advt.
