Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. dj. First Printing. Octavo. pp. 177 incl. index. black, cloth-covered boards with green highlights to front board and spine,and green lettering to spine. Very light rubbing to extremities. Lime-green endpapers. Introduction by Thomas Hale, Jr., MD. Partial list of chapters include: Discovering The Cause of Foot Troubl…e; Preventing Children's Foot Trouble; General Foot Care for Children; General Foot Care for Adults; Fitting Adults with Shoes; Cause of Fallen Arches in Children; Preventing and Treating Corns, Calluses and Bunions; Feet, Fatigue and Stress; Program for Strengthening Foot Muscles; Evaluating Foot Health (for all ages); The Shoe Industry and Foot Health. The author is a "Doctor of Surgical Chiropody" and had previously written several books on the crucial importance of foot health to overall health. ".He believes that foot imbalance is responsible for such 'degenerative diseases' as cancer, rheumatic fever, chronic fatigue, diseases of the uterus, sexual disturbances, neuroses, essential hypertension, chronic alcoholism, narcotic addiction, eyestrain, and dental caries. He postulates that proper foot care will do much to eliminate these ailments." ".The chain of events leading to the development of these diseases is described as follows. The modern shoe deforms the human foot,causes the muscles to shrivel, and leads to foot imbalance. Even the feet of infants are distorted because they are firmly tucked in under blankets or covered by tight stockings. Upon bearing weight, the deformity of the feet leads to a rolling out of the legs that carries the femora into external rotation.This deprives the pelvis of its anterior support,and allows it to dip downward in front.The spine is therefore forced into exaggerated curves, so that the abdominal space is reduced and the chest cavity is compressed. The vital organs and the blood vessels and nevers are displaced or abnormally stretched. The abnormal stresses lead to cancer of the breast, stomach, prostate, and uterus. To substantiate his thesis the author offers case histories and statistics." (From a review of another book by Dr. Wikler entitled "Your Feet Are Killing You", reviewed by I. William Nachlas in the University of Quarterly Review of Biology, Volume 29, No. 4, pp. 403, December 1954.). Very Good Minus in Very Good Dustjacket. Frances G. Hunter (illustrator).
