About the author
Reuben H. Gross, identified in library and book records as Reuben Herman Gross and born in 1891, was an American chiropody and podiatry author and editor. His name appears on several professional medical works from the 1920s through the 1940s, a period when the field was developing quickly and the language of foot care was shifting from "chiropody" toward "podiatry."
Gross is credited as the editor of Chiropody Quiz Compend and as an author or co-author of books including The Practice of Podiatry, Practical Podiatry, and Modern Foot Therapy. These titles suggest a career centered on clinical instruction, reference material, and practical treatment methods for foot specialists.
While detailed biographical information about his personal life was not readily confirmed in the sources I found, the publishing record makes his professional role clear: he was a recurring contributor to the literature of early twentieth-century foot medicine, helping to organize and share specialist knowledge for both learners and practicing clinicians.
