Published by arrangement with the Chicago Tribune.) Core lex Flat Foot. TJERE are some simple exercises for XJL the cure of flat foot: Remove the shoes and stockings, loosen the breeches and underwear over the lower legs. Stand on a two-Inch board with the toes projecting over the edge. Flex the toes as raucH as possible. Pull hard with the flexor muscles located In the sole of the foot. Extend the toes with-, out strong muscular effort. Repeat for five minutes. Gradually lengthen the time given this exercise to 10 minutes. After about two weeks add to the toe flexing exercise a foot-inverting exer cise. Roll both feet In until the weight is carried on the outside edge of the sole. This Is the position in which a young Ira by holds its feet. Roll the feet In Just as far as they will go, flex the toes as much as they will bend and pull bard on all the muscles which cause the motions. Allow the foot to roll back into the natural position without pulling on it. Repeat this ex ercise for 16 minutes. When the muscles become stronger these exercises can be continued for 30 minutes a day. During the period of the cure the person must walk with his toes turned in. At Fort Ethen Allen Lieutenant Perry treated 400 men suffering from flat foot with these exercises. About 90 per cent of tbem were cured and made able to continue their training without discom fort. Footprints show that the foot arch had been restored. I feel certain that exercises which spread the toes and then bring them to gether, if persisted in, would cure a large percentage of the cases of bun- Ions and ingrowing toenails. Major Brewer says that 13 per cent of the men examined by him were rejected for flat foot. Even at that a large number of the men who were passed suffered with their feet when they be gan to train. If clerks had Government physicians to give them foot exercl.te every day some of them would be more patient with unreasoning customers. Aching feet and petulant customers do not make a peaceful combination. Dr. Overton reports that his board re jected about 25 per cent of the appli cants appearing before them. One and sixty-six one-hundredths of this 25 per cent were rejected on account of flat feet. Tuberculosis of the lungs led with a percentage of 4.53. Defective sight a responsible for 3.08. Deformities of extremities (mostly foot conditions other than flat foot) caused rejection of 2.6S per cent of the applicants. Heart conditions were responsible, for 2.33; under weight, 2.08; hernia, 2; de fective hearing, 1.76: discharging ears, defective teeth, .83; varicose veins. 76; hemorrhoids, .66; chest deformities. 60; bad appendix scars.

W.ill you kindly advise if there is any antitoxin for whooping cough? "2. Can you give some general Infor mation on the care and treatment of the patient? "3. What is the percentage of fatal ity in this disease?" REPLY. 1. There Is a vaccine which is quite effi cient when used early in the course of the disease. 2. Unless the vaccine is used early, the treatment consists In keeping the bowels regular, feeding the patient properly and watching the ventilation of the sickroom. None of the 1000 ordinary whooping cough cures is worth using. The patient should remain In bed or quietly in a well ventilated room until the fever stage has passed. After that he should have a little airing each day. The disease Is highly oontagious at first and but mildly so after the fever stage haa passed. In consequence, health de partments usually prescribe room isolation for the onset and fever stages and Isola tion on the lot for the next several weeks. 3. The fatality rate In babies under one year of age Is about o per cent. .Among older persons it is much less less Mhan 1 per cent. The death rate per 10.000 popu lation is generally around 6-10 of 1.
