I I I I 11 - <ii Painful Feet Style plays, an , important part in tfce appearance of the feet, but frequently blind adherence to the dictates of fashion is responsible . for conditions causing painful feet. Women especially are more attentive to the neat, trim shoe that suggests daintiness or smartness than they are to the foot in&ide /the shoe. It is only when the discomfort of aching feet, painful corns, callouses or bunions is intense that the victim is inclined to take stock and seek a remedy: Since arches do not usually "fall" or "break" of themselves, it is reasonable to assume ttvat external irritation is responsible. Many of the conditions causing such painful feet can be attributed to improperly fitting shoes or stockings, according to the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society in a health talk. Oh the other hand, arthritis frequently causes painful feet, especially in older persons. Disturbances of the circulation may be responsible for foot pains and nerve inflammations. Troublesome infection in the teeth, nasal sinuses and digestive tract may well be considered as internal derangements associated with some of these foot disorders. Th<» condition "fallen arch" seems to occur most often in women and results from some injuiy to one of tf:e main bones of the foot known as the astragalus. People who stand long hours are likely to bo disturbed by painful feet due to continuous strain on the arches. In such cases the pain is the result of rigidity of the tissues and of spasm of the muscles in their effort to overcome the strain. Since rest in bed is an economic impossibility in many instances, the proper padding of the shoes to change the strains may be comforting if supervised by a specialist. One painful condition, referred to as "spurs" and resembling small callouses on the bone of the heel, is frequently alleviated by alternating each day a pair of shoes with different heel heights, thus removing the constant irritation caused by a mbr bing shoe. Twenty-six joints exist among the bones in each foot from ankle to toe tip and since joints are purely mechanical methods of changing^ tile direction of force, they play -a.' Jttrgpe p&tt to the flexibility of .the 'feet. Since feet carry the weight of the body, posture plays an iiliportant part in ithe care of the feet. Standing with the pointing outward, instead of forward, causes undue strain an the ligaments connecting the foojt, bones, especially on the inner sidjR of the long arches. The resulting slight ache often grows to vere pain. ji To aid the circulation in the feet and thus relieve pain 8t night, which is frequently th© case, the contrast bath is reconimended. Two large pails to accommodate both feet are use^,, one holding hot water and) other cold water. Both ft should be placed in iSie wanjpi water for one minute, then in tt^e cold water for one minute, procedure should be followed ten minutes. Massage and cise are always helpful.
