PITY T H E POOR SHOPASSISTANT.
“For many years I have Ibeen a medical practitioner, having on my list large numbers of both men and women, including men of all the 01dinary London trades; and T ran say that the health of the shop assistant compares extremely badly with that of peode in almost any othei tiade of which I know anything. Shop assistants suffer a great deal from varicose veins, Hat foot, and all the disabling things which make life a misery. They age very early, and break down very early. That luts been my experience of them as compared with even painters, and with omnibus conductors and drivers and people of that kind. There is no comparison (between shop assistants and people in these other trades as regards early ageing and the mnnv disabilities from which they suffer.” —Dr Ethel Bcntham, M.P.
