HOW GH HEELS MENACE HEALTH Death of Mrs. W. A. Hunter from a Cancerous Growth Which Footgear Aggravated Causes! Much Discussion. MANY WOMEN SUFFER FROM WEARING THEM.) Dr. Tuffie Points Out that the’ High Heels Throw the En- tire Body of a Person Out of Its Proper Poise. High heels have much to answer for, Undoubtedly they are responsible for many of the {lls of humanity, but some- times it would seem that undeserved blame ia laid at their door, For count- less ages they have been the target for merry shafts of wit from mankind tn general, especially when directed to some special object in particular, Now a graver charge !s made, On| @unday evening Mrs, Willlam A Hunter, daughter-in-law of pete nta- tive W.

The growth ap- peared about fourteen months ago and spread rapidly necessitating amputa- | tion of the lex below the knee about a year ago.

In such a case a high heel, which throws the foot out of its proper position, coyld, by the unnatural in- clination and pressure on the foot, in- crease the disorder. Without some ex- waneous cause, would be impossible for the high heel @f itself to create # cancerous growth. Jadirectly, it might well be responsible, “There are suffictent injuries beyond | exay doubt caused by this vernicious fashion to merit all the homilies di- ed against it, It ls undoubtedly a fact, a4 any gynecologist will state, @hat by far the ereater proportion ot ‘women's troubles come from the wear- ing of high heels, which throw the en- tire body out of its proper poise, to the serious disorganization of the Internal meshaniem.
