built to stand SO much weight. One
of the happy results of reducing is
the great relief to the feet.
The Shape of the Foot.
The following notes are taken from
Drew's book individual Iynnas-.f
ties:
The shape of the normal foot Is
triangular. The weight of the body
is borne upon the heel, base of the
big toe and base of the little toe. IN
savages and infants the foot Is aa-
most fan-shaped and has a wide
range of movement; also considera-
BILE grasping power. Savages use the
straight foot position.
Between these unshod races ana
civilized men there is in most in
stances a great difference in the
shape and use of the foot This is
brought about by wearing shoes i'm
properly shaped which crowd the.
| toes together and press the Dig toe
! into such a position that 1T cannot
longer functionate to advantage. The
| result is not only q deformed foot
but one which has lost much of it's
elasticity and capacity for comforta-
BILE use.
Straight Position of the F'oot-The
position of the foot in standing and
| walking has an important bearing
| upon its strength and usefulness
| Keeping the toes turned out ShOuid
! not be encouraged as it is one OF
weakness. The position of the feet
with the toes pointing straight ahead
! is more natural and stronger. If the
position of the foot is pointed straight
! ahead, then the weight falls along
| the whole length of the arch with
| the advantage of the leverage OF the
big toe. With the toes turned out,
the weight falls upon the foot at an
| angle striking at a point at about
| the middle of the longitudinal arch
and the anterior part Of the arch
] takes little part in weight bearing
| and the leverage of the big toe is
| lost. Strain is apt to result. If the
| foot weakens under the strain Of this
| position there will be tendency for
| it to turn out still more and SO q
vicious circle has been established.
One of the best exercises for the
| feet is the continual practice of
| walking with the toes pointing
straight forward.
| I'll give you more foot notes later.

FOOT NOTES.

FOOT NOIES.
In our last two papers I talked on
corns and bunions and I gave you
what is commonly called a corn cure
that is. a lotion which takes off the
hardened surface and so-called roots.
The technical name for corns is
clavuS, from the Latin meaning nail,
on account of the point or root which
extends down into the toe. If you
would like a simple definition of a
corn I'll give you this:
C1avus (corn)-A local traumatic
hyperkeratosis with Inflammation
and strophy of the cuticle. Situated
especially on the prominence of the
phalangeal articulations of the toes
or the metaatarsal prominences.
You never knew why they were so
painful before, did you.
1 told you why the corns REQUIRED
after the use of lotions or pairing
them, even though the so-called root
is removed. The real growth-pro-
ducing part of the skin that causes
the corn is still there, However, it
is said that sometimes after several
times being removed in the manner
that I described yesterday, they will
not return if shoes are worn which
cause no pressure.
Corns have been known to disap-
pear in long illnesses.
Today [ am going to talk of the
callosites, or ca1louses, that come
especially on the bottom of the feet
These are larger and merge more
gradually into the surrounding tissue
They may become extremely painful
and in many instances will have the
little projections or roots the same
as corns and may become true corns
