Excerpt from The Human Foot: A Few Practical Words on the Covering and Protecting of It Many books have been written on the subject of feet and footwear, but most of them being theoretical, are of little practi cal value to the general public; and after reading the scientific phrases, people are generally none the wiser. The writer having had many years of practical experi ence in the boot and shoe manufacturing business, and having made the foot and its proper treatment a special study, will give his readers the result of his experience, in the hope that people may profit by it and devote more care and attention to their downtrodden servitors than heretofore.
