Corns Need Absolute Best
An absolute and permanent remedy for corns is the rest cure, says a New York Times writer. If you can go into a fortnight's seclusion, giving out that your ankle is sprained, and keep tiie corn foot in a stocking and wool bedside slipper, without pressure, and. using only when walking about theroom, the corns will disappear and: will not return. All inflammation; subsides first, and the corn becomes loose and easily detached, and that is the end of it. For soft corns, the constant wearing of a bit of old linen saturated every morning with sweet oil is said to be a sure cure. From the beginning the pain of the infliction: ceases, and after a time the corn itself loosens and falls out. Both these? remedies are from good authority and . will bear trial, the first one, perhaps, . being rather difficult of accomplish-' ment since many of the acids and com salves sold irritate and produce soreness, and the knife of the chiropodist is apt to afford merely temporary relief.
