CoRNs.-Those devotees Of the heal
ing art known as corn-doctors make
short work Of extracting corn from
your toe and fifty cents from your pock-
ct, and the corns make short work Of
acknowledgements the persuasion Ut fash
ionable shoes. AS almost every one
knows the twinges OF these troublesome
affections. we copy these hints for their
treatment from medical journal: -
The laminated corn, or "callus," pro-
duced by, pressure, congestion, and
increased formation Of epidermis, may
be softenrd by moisture. as by soaking
in warm water, by the application ofa
starch or soap poultice; and. being soft
ened, the thick cuticle may be thinned
by scraping with blunt knife, or the
albu,ninous epidermis may be dissolved
by an ;,ika, SO Isi"n ws'i' moderate
friction. When the thickening has
been 'ed,lce, sufficiently, it may lie kept
down by dailv washing with soap. The
soft corn requires removal with the
knife; If it be Of moderate size, a single
pinch with a pair of pointed scissors
will effect its removal, while the hard
callus will require patient digging with
the point Of not too sharp knife. The
eye of the corn may always be made Wis.,
IDLE by rubbing the part with eau de-
cologne or spirits of wine, and any
remains of the core may be detected in
this way either during or after the ope-
ration, the corn should be covered with
Il piece Of soft plaster for day or two,
aud II perforated plaster of buff leather |
or amadou subsequently worn to keep
off pressure from the center of the
growth. The removal of corn may be
very considerably aided by the Use of
the compound tincturc of iodine painted
on the swelling. When the cornis pain
full, this application subdues the sens-
bility and renders the corn dry and
pliable, and easy of removal by means
of a lie. Soap and water. so useful to
the skin in many ways, are especially
to feet afflicted with corns.
aud particularly when they are soft
corns. Daily washing with soap, and
the subseq aent interposition of piece of
cotton wool between the toes, may be
as a cure for soft corns., In
these cases the skin may be hardened
by sponging with spirits of camphor
after the washing, the cotton wool
should be removed at night, and this is
good time for the camphorated spirits.
Use OF ISAWHIDE.-A skin Of an ami
NAL, whether COW, calf, colt, or horse
that dies on the farm, is worth more at
home than at the tanners. Cut them
nto narrow strips, and shave of the
Iair with a sharp knife before the
Kitchen fire or in your workshop stormy
lays and evenings. You may make
hem soft by rubbing. \ rawhide hal
