    THE PRACTICE OE SURGERY, BY JAMES MILLER, F. K. S. E., E. K. C. 8. E., Surgeon in ordinary to the Queen of Scotland; Surgeon in ordinary to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, for Scotland ; Professor of Surgery in the University of Edinburgh; Consulting Surgeon to the Boyal Infirmary, etc., etc, etc. FOURTH EDITION, FROM THE LAST EDINBURGH EDITION. AFFECTIONS OF THE FOOT. TALIPES. By this term is understood the deformity of Club-foot; generally con- genital ; yet, not unfrequently acquired. The original development of the bones is not faulty; but displacement of these is gradually effected by a pre- ponderance of action in certain muscles; such preponderance being de- pendent either on spasm of those which so act, or on want of action in those which ought to be their antagonists. There is no actual dislocation of the tarsal bones ; there is merely a gradual change in their relative i)0- sitions. ********* There are varieties of this deformity. * * * * * Talipes Varus. Tlie same dissected ; showinjj the altered relative pusitioa of the boues.
