What can be done for a very much
enlarged toe joint?
2-What will remove very proml-
nent freckles on ones back?
A-1-Strapping the joint tightly,
massage, and the use of a small
electric battery and exercises moving
the tendons of the toe will tend to
cure it.
2-The best remedy is salcylic acid
used in the form of a plaster NULL
Most so-caled freckle cures contain
mercury and may cause serious in
ternal trouble. In any case, no mat
ter what is used, freckles usually re-
turn, and If the skin peels it Is better
to stop the use of all remedies, be-
cause more harm will be done than
benefit. Use plain boracic acid
powder twice day on them.
