THE PROPER TREATMENT
OF ANNOYING CORNS.

Hard corns are produced by friction
and pressure. Very loose footgear may
be more hurtfuI than tight. The boot
should perfectly fit the foot. The best
way to get rid of hard corn is to place
over 1t a shield and to attack the
growth with salicylic acid collodion.
After some few applications the outer
layers will be easily removable. By
perseverance the corn will be brought
even with the skin surface. If now the
part is completely protected from pres
sure and friction. the deeper, down
growing center will gradually disap-
pear, partly by absorption and partly
by, being pushed to the surface. The
acid should be used now and again until
where the corn once was there is i
smooth new skin.
Soft corns always arise from pressure
and moisture. The feet when carefully
tended never develop these painful
growths. When undertaking treat
ment the first essential is to wipe the
feet thoroughly after they have been
wet If the parts are moist naturally,
they ought to be wiped at least twice
daily. After doing so an absorbent and
soothing powder should be applied free
~ Starch and boracic acid in equal
parts will be found useful At night do
not apply the powder, but instead lay
on with brush equal parts of salicylic
acid collodion and fluid hydrochlorate
of morphia.
This plan will suffice, but another
that has proved very successful is as
follows: At night the parts are thor
oughIy dried. Then this mixture is laid
on with a brush: Fluid sulphate of afro
pine, one dram; saturated solution Of
alum, one dram. This will dry and
harden the sodden tissue. Apply for six
nights. On the seventh use the salicylc
and morphia. If the corn is between
the toes, wadding should be placed in
that situation.
The agony that may be caused by a
neglected soft corn is altogether out of
proportion to the apparent cause of the
pain. Brief pain can be borne with a
smile, but when prolonged it is bound to
affect the facial expression even of the
most stoical.

This should be a watchful period for
mothers, for these early friendships
have a marked influence on the mind,
morals and manners of a child.
Nearly every character is nodded very
largely by early companionship and
surroundings Every mother should
