MONITOR-INDEX AND DEMOCRAT, MOBERLY, MO Specialist Seeks to Correct Results of Old Custom of Footbinding- ST. LOUIS, Nov. 28. --A native Chinese woman, her feet bound in youth by ancient custom, recently underwent a rare operation here to restore them to normal. Another Chinese woman, her feet also bound, at the same time began a series or treatments by a foot specialist.

"The operation was one of the few to correct results of footfinding: perhaps the first --ever performed in the United States. There have been many in China. Dr. Frank M. Depke, pedia- trist, who assisted a surgeon in the operation and then took over the treatment, said the women would be able to walk naturally within a few months.

The women are Mary Chow, 31, and Agnes Xiang, 27, postulants of a Catholic order at Ruma, Toes Underneath Feet. The binding had bent the toes underneath the feet. It was necessary to amputate three toes of Miss Chow. The middle joints of the other were removed and the first joints forced back against the third, by means of contracting the tendons. This process tends to pull the toes up into normal position.

In Miss Kiang's case, two toes amputated. The other ham- shaped toes will be corrected by orthopedic manipulation. Said Depke today: "After a few months of massaging and treatment, in addition to wearing of appliances made to fit the individual condition, and these being corrected from time to time, they will be able to walk normally." Miss Kiang's feet were bound at the age of seven, Miss Chow's the age of four. In IJ. 3.

For 5 Years. After their arrival in America last summer for a 5-year period of training before returning to China as missionaries, it became apparent correction of the feet was necessary to enable the women to carry on their duties adequately and to free them from discomfort and pain. They were forced to use a shuffling 'gait and had difficul- 4v turning corners and arising from a sitting position.
