Excerpt from Causes and Cure of Diseases of the Feet: With Practical Suggestions as to Their Clothing
The large armies of the nation which have been in the field during the past year, have suffered so much from various diseases of the Feet, that not only the attention of surgeons has been specially directed to that part of the system, but the people have realized the very great importance which attaches to those derangements, and are ready to be instructed in their Causes and Cure. To supply, in part, the information which was not readily attainable, even by physicians, a portion of the following work was published in the "Journal of Rational Medicine."
Those articles having attracted considerable attention, I have thought the interests of the profession and of the people would be subserved by re-publishing them, with additions, in the present form, - particularly as no work covering the same ground had been published in America.
That the Feet, and the diseases to which they are liable, and the Causes of those diseases, avoidable or otherwise, are worthy of far more attention than has been bestowed upon them by the majority of the profession, none will deny; and it is hoped this monograph may serve to direct the minds of physicians to that part of the system, and thus aid in protecting the people from the impositions of ignorant and designing pretenders.
