The best way Of remedying most foot de-
fects was not through surgery but
through the substitution Of a shoe better
fitted to the peculiar abnormality Of the
foot.
Army surgeons. under the direction of
DR.. Edward A. Rich, supervising ortho-
pedic surgeon, devised an extremely eff
cient method of diagnosing foot troubles
due to wearing heels or some other cause.
This is of the greatest value for one of
the chief difficulties in the correction of
foot defects has always been lack Of
knowledge of their exact nature.
Unfortunately, as DR.. Rich points out in
the Journal of the American Medical AS
sociation, "the diagnosis of the static foot
defects has always been largely made by
guess. Diagnostic aids have not been
commonly sought or encouraged. Many
surgeons, uninterested in the foot sub
iects. have jumped at conclusions from
mere inspection, with the usual result that
treatments applied have been misfts. To
diagnose and classify the foot defects
without graphic aids is exactly on a par
with the attempt at diagnosis and classic.

"It Is lamentable fac: that great

an ankle valgus, popularity termed pro-
mated foot, prove on accurate test to have
cavus with often abnormally high longi-
tudinal arches; but their histories show
often that previous civilian treatment had
for its aim the restoration of fallen arch.
There seems to be vague misunderstand-
ing of the characteristics of the static foot
entities"

The Washington times., 1919-01-12

Almost ever since human be1nes Tegan
to wear shoes 1t has been the habit to
lament the vanity which leads women to
deform their feet and run theil health by
wearing high heels. But the war has
taught us that lien ere deserving of even
more blame in this respect than their wives,
mothers, sisters and daughters. Although
a mans three-uuarter-inch heels do not
throw his Dody so tar out OF plumb as his
wiie's three-inch ones throw hers, they
usually do him more hf~m because he
wears them more continuously and also
does more walking and standing.
The suspicious regarding heels of any
height which orthopedic surgeons have
long entertained were confir.-ed when we
began to prepare to fight Germany. Exam
ination of the men who volunteered or
were selected for service in the army and
navy revealed an amazingly large number
of sufferers from corns, bunions, hammer
.oes and fat feet. The diagnosis and cor
rectior of foot defects at once became one
of the most serious problems our military
authorities had to solve.
Napoleon once said tha. an army travels

After wearing heels for 30 many years
doing away with them entirely was hardly
to be thought Of. Even II that had peen
possible, it would have solved only part
of the problem. Too many feet had al
ready been seriously damaged by heels
ana other unhygienic conditions Of modern
footwear.
What had to be done was to find out
just what, allied the feet Of so many soldiers
and sailors and then to remedy the trou-

spaSmodlc contraction of the smaller bron.
chial tubes which We call asthma.
The shifting of the body's weight from
the parts OF the feet that were designed
to carry it imposes particularly heavy
burden on the thick masses of muscles on
the legs. AS a result, the veins in the
legs may become stretched and dilated out
Of all proportion to the amount of blood
they have to carry-the condition which
medical science terms varicose and which
necessitates the wearing OF rubber band
ages or radical surgical operation.
AS Professor Theodore Hough and Will
lam T. Sedgewick point out in their useful
work on The Human Mechanism" the re-
lation between the condition of the feet
and ones general health is a great deal
closer than most people realize.
The hygienic care of The feet" say
these authorities, consists essentially in
maintaining the ability of those organs to
bear easily and without discomfort the
weight of the body. Weak feet are to
blame for many unhealthful conditions; the
discomfort or pain which they cause as
one goes about the ordinary occupations
of life subjects their possessor to nervous
strain and often prevents the enjoyment of
that muscular activity which the mainten-
ance OF health requires.
Nor is 1t generally known that this
state of affairs may be very largely avoid
ed by intelligent care. In the majority of
cases weakness Of foot is the result Of
maltreatment Of the foot, and not the re-
suit of Unborn structural defects"
According to the interesting theories OF
Professor Fai:weather there is no way We
can maltreat our feet thai is more likely
10 have a dangerous effect on our general
lhealth than the wearing of heels on our
Ishoes.

Photograph of it. The Photograph is merely
an imprint on paper of the weight
bearing surface OF the foot, surrounded by
a pencil mark of the contour of the upper
foot The pencil describing this contour
line must always be held perpendiculsrly
to the drawing paper.
Curiously enough, 1t was found that these
impressions OF a mans feet give an unmis-
taxable picture Of many facts concerning
his general physical condition other than
those pertaining to the feet themselves.
For example, the footprints Of q man
who has been drinking too much are
blurred IN their forepart. In the foot
prints of a man suffering from ataxia-
that is, loss Of power Of governing move
ments, though the power necessary to
make them is still present-the blurred
effect extends throughout the lateral as
pect OF the impression.
The footprints of the emaciated, poorly
nourished man show marked differences
from those Of the well-fed man of normal
weight.
These Photographs or impressions Of the
soles are of no use in determining foot de-
fects, except when studied In connection
with what is known as the scaphoid scale.
The latter shows the position OF the
scaphoid, small bone on the inside of the
foot just above the instep, with reference
to a line drawn upward from the base of
ne great toe TO the lower part of the in
ternal malicious, the little round bone pro-
jecting on the ankle.
The position of the scaphoid is of i'm
portance because it is the keystone Of the
lateral arch of the foot. In the normal
foot its lower rounded border is about one
half inch below line drawn as described.
With a Photograph and scaphoid scale
of foot the army orthopedic surgeons can
quickly tell in what way it varies from
normal the exact degree Of its abnormality
The Washington times., 1919-01-12

and just what changes must be made in the
shoe to correct the defects.
OF course In studying the photograph and
scaphoid scale various other factors have
to be taken into consideration. One of
these is the presence or absence of the fat
pad underneath the lateral arch This pad.
always found in children, persists in some
individuals even into the thirties
The making Of careful pedogrsphs and
scsphoid scales of your feet furnishes the
easiest and surest way OF ascertaining
just how much harm heels have already
done them.
When all the facts brought out by the
examination OF the feet Of several million
candidates for the army and navy are finally
tabulsted Il Is believed that we shall have
still more conclusive scientific evidence
that heels OF any height are injurious TO
the feet and a menace to the general
health. One significant fact already estab
lished is that certain varieties of foot
troubles are much more frequent among
ranchers who have always worn very
high-heeled boots.
Shoes with soles and heels of the same
height are what Professor Fairweather
recommends for everybody. IL we had al
ways worn such shoes crippled painful
feet would be rarity. The harm done by
years of heelwearing can't be undone. but
we could save ourselves further i'll health
and discomfort and set a good example
for future generations by adopting heel
less shoes. Even the feet already hope
