Excerpt from The Care of the Foot: A Practical Text-Book on Chiropody and General Care of the Foot, for Professional and Private Use Style and Comfort are not necessarily synonymous terms, but it is safe to state that a very great deal of the discomfort caused by shoes is not the fault of the style. Many young persons and some not so young find it hard to accept a shoe quite long or wide enough. While many older persons who have realized the folly of their earlier notions, make the less painful and seri ous mistake of selecting shoes that are unnecessarily large. It is the business of this little book to show in a simple, practical manner how the more common ail ments of the foot may be overcome. In New York State a Regent's license is necessary to become a prae ticing chiropodist, so that a working knowledge of the care of the feet is no mean accomplishment for anybody. Just what would happen if the feet were left free and unhampered we do not know. Adam and Eve are pictured with bare feet, but almost every bit of knowledge we have of man shows him with some sort of foot protection - and apparently this is the result of well defined necessity. And not all style, for do we not shoe horses and other animals when pressed into regular daily service? The shoes that are made now here in America are probably more nearly than ever before adapted to the shape of the foot and the use that is expected of both the shoe and the foot.
