HIGH HEELS RUIN WOMAN'S
HEALTH, SPECIALIST SAYS

The following clipping from the
Times-Picayune will be Of interest to
the many friends Of DR.. Nellie B.
Cooper Of this city:
Women's shoes with pointed toes
and high French heels were described
Wednesday as causes Of immediate
and serious health disorders by DR..
Nellie Cooper speaking before the
faculty and student body Of the City
Normal School in a lecture sponsored
by the Louisiana State Chiropodists'
Association.
DR.. Cooper is a graduate of the
Genner College of Medicine, Chicago,
and has been given the degree of
M. Cp. by the Board of Regents Of
the State of New York. She is lee
turing throughout the country under
the auspices of the National Associ-
alton Of Chiropodists on Care and
Health of the Feet"
y Purposes of her lectures, according
to DR.. Cooper, is to enlighten the
modern girl and woman on the bad
effects Of tight and ill fitting shoes
and to emphasize their responsibility
for general health disorders. The lee
lures are illustrated with stereopti-
con slides showing feet deformities
resulting from the wearing of badly
fitting shoes and demonstrating pro-
per care of the feet.
"The practice of foot binding in
the Orient has been abandoned re-
cently,' DR.. Cooper declared, "but it
seems to have been taken up in Am
erica in the form of tight shoes, and
for grown-ups the foot and health
disorders that follow are lost
cause. Nothing will remedy the con-
dition except an operation.
with the young girl, however, it
is different, and she may avoid the
sufferings Of her parent by walking
simply in low and fiat Shoes

a high heel throws the entire body
out of natural balance and causes or

placed, bringing organic disorders.
