Shoes and
Health.

1t is impossible for any person to be
free from pain in their feet their back
or their head when they have on tigh {,
ll-ftting shoes. Just in proportion as
free circulation in the foot is prevented,
to that extent the whole body suffers
injury and harm.
No person can move gracefully about
in tight shoes. That unconscious grace
of movement is wholly lost the moment
the foot is cramped and imprisoned,
and no one can push to the front in
this busy, eager world in pain-prOduc-
ing boots.
