In the production of the deformity, which takes place during 
the fifth to the seventh years, the size of the foot is reduced by 
bandages which turn the outer toes inwards and under the sole to 
make the foot narrow, while the bandages applied from front to back 
make it short. 
The specimen is regarded by those familiar with the East in years 
gone by as a not excessive instance of the practice. The evidence 
of ulceration seen on the skin is in its slightness quite the exception 
to the rule, gangrene being of fairly common occurrence with the 
frequent loss of one or more of the outer toes.
