THE NOSE AND THE TOES.
A Physical Cuituri~t Says Pigeontoed Eco
pIs Have Crooked Moses

pIe Have Crooked Noses
A professor Of physical culture an
nounces that he has discovered an IN
innate connection between determines
Of the nose and the position of the feet.
His name is III. L. Piner, and he com
municates his observations TO the New
York Journal:
lyon can tell a pigeontocd person
without looking at his feet or seeing
him walk. The discovery was made by
me in 1891 while hing physician
culture. found a stubborn awkward
ness in the movements Of my pupils
feet. Looking for the cause, found
that many Of them were pieeontoed-
In others one foot was correct and the
other turned in.
lin teaching correct breathing l bad
20 investigate the condition Of the nasal
messages. Then found that wherever
the person was pigeontoed IN the nght
foot the right nostril was stopped up or
otherwise deformed. Ii was the same
with the left foot or nostril III both
uostrils were defective. both feet were
pigeontoed.
At one time | examined % persons.
and every one Of them was pigeontoed
in the left foot, with a corresponding
defect in the left nostril. At another
time | examined over 40 with view 10
testing my discovery. Some of them had
well developed nostrils and were not at
all pigeontoed Some had overwide
nOstrils. with overwide angles at the
feet TO correspond.
Girls found more generally and
worse pigeontoed than boys. The per-
son who has whining or snuffiing
voice j. usually pigeontoed.
Another discovery is that with the
defective nostrils were found invariably
stopped shoulders and hollow chests. the
stoop and hollow always bearing a
direct ratio with the defect. In extreme
cases there was an ugly protrusion OF
the abdomen, tendency 10 draw back
and upward the upper lip. exposing the
teeth, that have also an unsightly pro
truding tendency.
TELL your friend to walk from you.
Watch his feet. Ii the left turns in, tel.
him that his left nostril Is smaller thar
the right. That is, that he can take
more air atany given inspiration through
tine right than through the left nostri
alone. If the right foot turns in, tel
him his right nostril is the smaller.
Conversely, tell him to place thu
end Of the thumb under and against TIN
nostrils alternately, breathing through
the open one each time, and ask hin
which nostril admits the greater amour
, Of air. If il is the left, tell him he i
pigeontoed in the right foot and vic
versa Demonstrate by having him wall
| naturally.
Remember that the proper angle
80 degrees on either side Of the medial
: line, or 90 degrees with both feet. ID
not close the nostril from the side, bu
4 gently from underneath.
