And m, a healthy foot where there are no. symptoms of navicular disorder., the sqle should not he cut, 3. The shoe should have a level hearing upon the wall of the foot, and should not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a feayf ul lever upon the tendons The nails should be driven level and uni form, and only on the toe side of the inside quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greater weight of the body being sustained there. There is no comparison points of quality between the hand-made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is imported andit should be insisted upon that they be not used m the colony^
