extracted text (Extract Text): A cane intended to make
walking easier for the
convalescent soldier has found
popularity in England where
every ship from the war zone
brings wounded men still too
weak to walk great distances
but sufficiently recovered to
be about. It is of stout con-
struction. Ithasa
curved handle and
is fitted with a
rubber tip so that
it is a safe support
when traversing
slippery pave-
ments. The unique
feature of its con-
struction is a fold-
ing foot-support
which opens on the
principle of a knife-
blade, a few inches
from the bottom.
This the soldier
uses as a rest.
