SWEENY, OR ATROPHY OF THE MUSCLES OF THE SHOULDER. THE 



CHEST AND THE ARM. 



is the almost necessary concomitant of an injury of any kind 

 to the foot. But rarely is this condition due to any direct in- 

 jury to the shoulder. The best proof of which is, that while 

 the foot is affected, no measure of treatment will effectually 

 remove the morbid conditions of the shoulder, etc., but as 

 soon as the foot is easy, the muscles which govern its action 

 gradually recover their tone and normal dimensions. 



CERTAIN ABNORMALTIES AND IRREGULARITIES OF ACTION, SUCH 

 AS STUMBLING, POTTERING, DAISY-CUTTING, SHORT GAIT, BRUSH- 

 ING, INTERFERING, SPEEDY-CUTTING, KNEE-STRIKING, HIGH- 

 SPEEDY-CUTTING, DROPPING, SKIPPING, HITCHING, HOBBLING, 

 BROKEN-GAIT, OVER-REACHING, GRABBING, CLICKING, FORGING, 

 HAMMER-AND-PINCERING, STRINGHALT 



and the rest, can all be modified, and most of them completely 

 changed to normal action, by simply softening and expanding 

 the feet; proving beyond a peradventure, that morbid con- 

 traction in some degree or form, is a cause, if not the cause of 

 these abnormalties and irregularities of action.
