Abstract
THE author of this book, though he bears the name, is not responsible for the designation which we know as Morton's metatarsalgia. The most important statement in the book is that the disabilities of the foot start in the first instance from defects of the bones and ligaments. The evidence for this statement is assembled from diverse sources.
