THE CHINESE FOOT.

When again left alone, she folded the ban.
dage ; on the removal of which, the state of filth
the foot presented convinced me that the gene
raj opinion is correct viz, that the limb is sci.
dom exposed, even for the purpose of cleanli-
ness. A cursory glance at the deformed limb
would lead even a professional man to suppose
that partial amputation had been performed
wherein the matatarsal bones (these immedia-
tely articulating with the toes) had been remov-
ed. On closer inspection, the great-toe was
found to end in sharp rough point, having at
its extremity what might either be construed
into shapeless nail, or portion of bone pro-
trudng, from not having been properly protect
ed by the flap after an amputation. On the up
per surface of the foot there was no peculiar APP
pearance, save that the smaller toes appeared
to terminate in knuck.le-ke point
On examining the sole Of the foot, was sur
prised to see the four small toes bent under and
deeply imbedded in the soft substance of the
