Removal of COrns

In most cases, however, some
temporary treatment prcccdgs
this fundamental treatment and
is necessary because Of the pain

the corn off with a razor blade
gives temporary relief, but the
ideal thing is to remove the CEN

a phrase, is easier said than done.
Specialists claim t. be able to do
it by dissection after the foot has
been immersed in hot water for a
quarter of an hour. But a warning
should be inserted that it is bet

his own corn is just as awkward
as trying to construct a sentence
