LOOKING AT LIFE, THROUGH YOUR FEET FOOT TALKS (By an Expert). IT IS ASTONISHING the number of people who suffer from some form of foot trouble or other—calculated by competent authorities »t about 85 per oent of the population—and the cause is not very far to seek. One has only to glance at the ultra-fashionable types of footwear now in vogue, to realise that nature never intended our feet to conform to those shapes. Our feet forcibly resent being compressed into footwear which is designed to please the eyfe and not the foot. The reaction to such treatment is Fhown in the prevalence of Corns, Callouses, Bunions, Ingrowing Nails, etc., etc., and when these are neglected, they develop to a very distressing degree and also seriously affect the nervous system. Another big contributing factor which is largely overlooked is the weakening of the arch of the foot. Many people have a depressed, or falling, arch without being aware of it, and an examination of most sufferer’s feet reveals a general flabby, loose-knit condition, which the only sets up a dull aching pain, but, due to the dropping of the arch, the foot lengthens abnormally, and is thrust forward into the narrow pointed toe of the shoe. This thrusting forward of the foot naturally results in the formation of painful superficial growths, and the distortion of the big toe, which eventually develops a Bunion. The remedy is to obtain skilled advice and treatment, and, if necessary. be fitted accurately with a pair of light resilient arch supports, which can be worn unnoticed in the lightest of footwear. This is the only hope of getting real foot comfort. Hinder’s Arch Supports attack the cause by eliminating the pressure against the prominent parts of the feet, besides holding the arch In its proper place and relieving the strain on the muscles and ligaments. They are recommended by medical practitioners all over the civilised world. My twenty years’ practice as a Foot Expert and Chiropodist have enabled me to give extreme comforts to many thousands of suffererfs by their aid. CONSULTATIONS AND ADVICE quite free.
