mad- shoes are an absolute necessity 20
a graceful carriage. They should be
long and wide enough TO accommodate
the foot. with the heels never more than
an inch high and placed directly under

There Is no portion of the human form
which is the seat OF more ills than the
feet; and they can only be avoided by
a strict adherence 10 a neatly-htting.

prudence and vanity of the mother. and
afterwards by the children themselves.
when they are free 10 follow the bent Of
their own inclinations.
Corns are produced by pressure or
friction. and are simply a protective
growth thrown out for the purpose of
preventing the tissues being injured.
They are sufficiently painful al all
times. but are the most .unbe arabic
when al accumulation Of pus takes
place beneath them. The escape Of
tbs drop OF pus is prevented by the
hardened or ihickened cuticlc. which
must be soaked in warm water. then
removed by a sharp pointed knife.
AVOID the use of caustic in the treat
ment of corns. bu, great relief viii be
obtained by the application Of carbolic
acid. Hard corns may be treated as
follows: Take n thick piece OF soft
leather or felt. cut a hole in the center
of it. spread the leather or felt with adj
hesive plaster. and apply it SO that the
summit of the corn will rest in the hole
i'm the center. Upon going 10 bed a,
night fill the hole in the center Of the
with a paste made Of soda and
soap; wash il OF in the morning. Re-
peat the same process for several nights
and the corn will be removed.
Bunions are such serious and painful
diseases of the foot that il is ALWAYS
best to consult an experienced chiropo-
dist in their treatment. but great relief
will be experienced by the application
OF n slice of lemon bound on and worn
until the Inflammation subsidies.
To relieve the feet when they are
sore and raw, battle in salt water night
and morning. aud C plantain leaves
wrapped round the feet inside the stock
ings for 4 month.
Perspirat on of the feet is very annoy
ing. but can be cured by using ammonia
in the foot bath.
When the feet are sore. rs from long
walking. take a tablespoonful of epson
five or six drops of tincturc Of cap
and put it in n shallow basin OF
water just enough TO cover the soles
of the feet-and soak them for twenty
minutes. You will be surprised ut the

burning of the feet that 50 many are
troubled with in the summer. Cor. De-
