VIC. GUILFoRD, ORIGINATOR
OF SYSTEM.
Members of Medical Profession
Everywhere Express Astonish-
ment at Wonderful Results.

Medical science has made enormous
strides during the past few years, but
no discovery on record Is more re-
markable than that made by W. c.
Gulford Of this city. namely, that
many human ills are directly traceable
to the neglect of the feet, and that a
large list OF ailments. supposedly in
durable. can be made to yield to the
scientific treatment of those members.
Strange as 1t may seem. specialists
have concentrated their energies on
various parts of the anatomy. but tho
study Of the feet has, until recent
years, been practically ignored by men
Of science.
How We Neglect Our Feet.
Since primitive times, when man
wore sandals. or went barefoot the
Importance Of the feet with relation
to the general health of the body has
been completely overlooked.
We cramp our feet in tight shoes,
causing painful corns. and still worse
forcing the bones out of place until
the foot loses all SembIance of it's
original shape. We pay little heed to
the fact that the feet are delicate and
sensitive members, Which, demand as
much care as other par. Of the body.
Mr.. Guilford's theor|-. that the health
Of the whole body depends on the
health Of the feet. is based on the as
sumption that normal human being
is perfectly balanced piece of mech
anism. When the body is poised nat
urally, all the important nerve CEN
tiers are in a state of equilibrium. and
the organs which they control and
affect perform their functions nat
urally. But once change the poise of
the body, through an unnatural con-
dition of the feet, and the nerve CEN
tiers send out signals of distress,
which, If not needed, eventually lead
to serious and often fatal disorders.
Marvellous Cures Recorded.
It is to the cure of such disorders.
by restoring the feet to their normal
condition, that Mr.. Guilford has de-
voted his energies during the past
twenty years. The list OF diseases
which have yielded to his treatment
includes kidney troubles. heart trou-
