The Causes of Corns and Bunions. The feet are surely pliant members when they can endure the variformed shoes that from time to time compel them into new habits with each new pair put on; yet they rarely rebel or give real trouble unless barbarously neglected. Corns and bunions are more often the result of wearing old shoes than in the wrong selection of new ones. A constant change of foot­ gear inures the foot to variety, and even those who confine themselves wholly to the ready-made article need suffer no ill effects if they will keep their shoe supply as carefully replen­ ished *s is the rest of the wardrobe. It is one of the most fallacious of practices to attempt to economize by wearing old shoes about the house, un­ less they possess all their buttons, have straight heels and soles, and are daily brushed and aired, as are their newer fellows. Only in this way may the ankles be continually braced into straightness and the toes allowed to move gently in an almost straight, di­ rection. When the foot is thrown out of balance by worn-down heels, the toes, attempting to retain a level po­ sition, perform prehensile feats, which resemble the action of the forebears some scientists have ascribed to us. Moreover, the combined heat and moisture of the normal foot hardens the leather Of the continuously worn shoe into permanent creases, which in turn render the foot extremely sensi­ tive, and a struggling against its hard environment enlarges the joints and causes local distress.--Harper's Ba­ zar.
