Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Medical Journal, Vol. 37: A Semi-Monthly Journal of Medicine and Surgery; January 5, 1896 It is commonly stated in the text-books that lateral curvature is chiefly found in the wealthier classes, among those, in fact, who are not obliged to work. This is a mere delusion. Cases of severe deformity are not very com mon in any class, but they are probably at least as common among the poor as among the well-to-do. Slighter cases are common enough in the social strata from which hospital out-patients are derived. But they very rarely present themselves on account of the spinal curvature: that will be over looked altogether, unless the physician himself discovers it in the course of examination begun with reference to some other ailment.
