Bare Feet as a Cure-All.

Prof. K. Jefferson Richards of Boston champions going barefoot at all seasons as a remedy for the ailments of,the human race. He declares: "Do away with shoes and all other kinds of coverings for the feet, in rain or shine, winter or summer, no matter if the streets are sheets of glaring ice, or deep in snow, or are fiery hot from the sun’s burning rays. Wear nothing on your feet, except, perhaps, sandals. It was never intended that a welldeveloped foot should be pinched, distorted and punished by being shut up in pieces of sewed leather.”
