A
classic case
of
the cure being worse than the disease
. A
device
seemingly intended to shake people to the point where thier skeletons decide not to reside within their skins.
In times
before paved roads
were invented, roads crossing
boggy
or
marshy
areas had logs laid across them
side-by-side
in an attempt to prevent horse-drawn
carriages
from getting
stuck in the mud

Unfortunately the
hard, rough surface
presented often caused considerable damage to both the carriage and its
occupants
and roads with corduroy sections were often avoided, even at great
cost
in time and distance.
