The frog and bars require no cutting m a regularly attended foot. And m a healthy foot where there are no simptons of navicular disorder, tqe sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, and should not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons The nails jsb^ljd: be-driven le\?el and uni form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greate • weight of the body being suatai^ed there.
