Practical chiropody.

Publication Details

London: Scientific Press, 1925 CE.

"The book reached its eighth edition in 1952, and there were seven reprints; a revised, ninth edition was published in 1956, after Runting's death, and there were several American editions as well as one in Spanish. The Lancet had printed an article by Runting on the treatment of corns in 1927, and in many of his other writings Runting built on the work of Lewis Durlacher (1792–1864), developing the use of silver nitrate, the treatment of verrucae, toenail problems, the rational approach to the treatment of corns, and the importance of considering ‘the chiropodist's handicap—the shoe’ " (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, accessed 10-2017).
