Dentists Of course they may be treated and padded to take the inflammation there- from but this is only temporary relief, and my advice to anyone suffering from this malformation is to consult an orthopedic surgeon as nothing less than the radical operation is of any use as regards a cure, and it is easily un- derstood why some would rather put up with the bunion. Halfway measures however are only a waste of time and money and therefore to be deplored. Fallen Arches: -- Still another complaint almosi®as common as the two above mentioned is fallen arches.

In order to correct this set or rigidity, it is necessary to manipulate the foot in such a way as to break down these adhesions about the joints, so as to get the bones as near as possible into normal position again. Then it is often necessary to strap the foot so as to hold it in a coryect position in order that the inner muscles be allowed to contract back and stretch the outer muscles. Fur- thermore special exercises mav have to be taken in order to strengthen the muscles that have to do with main- taining the normal arch in position, To assist nature in this reconstruction it is commonly necessary to fit a tempor- ary arch support into the arch for the the care of those two members respon- sible for bearing all our weight and taking us from place to place. Evils of Ill-ftting Steckings:-- Many articles have already been written on foot trouble and cures so called, but outside of ill fitting shoes, little has been published so far, as lo the real cause. It is of course all too true that incorrect shoes have been responsible for a great deal of suffer- ing induced by foolish pride on the part of the wearer, or ignorance on the part of the fitter, or both. But badly fitting shoes are not the whole story by any means. Many adult foot troubles have had their beginning in the cradle, and moreover many so call- The Primrose is built in four sizes: No. 1, 350 Hs.--48.7 gal. milk per hour No. 2, 450 1Hs.--62.7 gal: milk per hour No. 3, 650 Hhs.--90.5 gal. milk per hour No. 4, 850 Ihe.--108.8 gal. milk per hour - J.

It becomes quite evident soil the way to cure a corn permanently is) to remove the pressure, and 3s a mat- tor of fact this is the only way. A corn may be carefully dissected out, snd relief will be had for considerable length of time, but if the exciting cause is not also removed the corn must of necessity recur. A good corn plaster may remove some corns but it cannot remove a tight shoe or put a distorted hone back into shape. How the Bunion is Formed:-- Another very common cause of dis-} comfort and pain is the bunion. Usu- ally it occurs at the base of the great toe on the inner border, and in ninety- nine cases out of a hundred is caused - by wearing shoes or stockings that are too short for the foot. 'The great toe is forced back and over andthe head of the first metatarsal bone is forced out and the tendons contract, more- over, on account of the one joint hav- "ing 'to bear the pressure, because of its new prominence, that would ordinarily be distributed along the side of the foot, becomes enlarged, in the same way that a corn does, only in this is a growth on the bone. -It should be remembered that a bunion once esta- - blished, can he cured only by surgery.
