How to Fix Children, Circa 1741

I recently came across a book in our rare book collection entitled "L'Orthopedie ou L'Art de Prevenir et de Corriger Dans les Enfant les Difformites du Corps." For those not fluent in French, the translation is "Orthopedics, Or the Art of Preventing and Correcting Body Deformities in Children."

It is filled with the most wonderful engravings, but I can't really figure out how they correlate to correcting deformities in children. 










Any ideas?
