For Troublesome Feet.

A decoction Of white oak bark is in
valuable for perspiring feet. To make
the decoction place one ounce of white
oak bark to one and one-half pints of
boiling water and simmer very slowly
for two or three hours; cool, strain
and add four ounces of alcohol; then
bottle for use. The most convenient
mode of application is to pour out a
small quantity in a saucer and apply
to the feet with n velvet sponge, after
giving them a warm bath.
