The Angle and Length of Foot 261 



equal conditions of the gait in question, have, I hope, made this im- 

 portant subject still clearer, and have impressed the reader with the 

 importance of the two prime causes of balance, namely, length of 

 toe and angle of foot. Without careful attention to these two prime 

 factors of balance at all times, we are apt to land in a maze of con- 

 fusion and contradiction. In a measure we might say of the foot and 

 balance as we say of the cents and dollars : "Take care of the shape 

 of the foot and the balance takes care of itself."
