SOFTENS OORNS AND CALLOUSES LIKE WATER SOFTENS SOAP. " Refreshing to the feet as mountain ale to the lungs. Aches, swellings, soreness, tenderness, excessive perspiration, etc., soon had to go," say* former sufferer from foot misery, who repeat* a famous spselalist's advice. After caustic liquids, cutting, plasters and other temporary expedients had produced great pain but no relief, I consulted a well-known specialist. He explained that callouses and corns are simply hardened, partly dead skin formed by shoe pressure, clogged pores, and poor circulation due to feet being the farthest extremities to which the heart must pump blood. Such growths are without nerves or blood vessels themselves, but they cause the acute misery by pressing on and irritating the extremely sensitive nerve tissues beneath. To refresh the feet, remove callouses and take corns out, roots and all, it is only necessary to rest them in hot saltrated water. This has no effect whatever on the structure of normal, healthy skin, but it immediately dissolves out the waxy substances from clogged pores, also the oil from hardened skin, and leaves the latter almost as soft as a piece of water-soaked soap. In fact, I j was told by the specialist who prescribed saltrated water that its action on corns and callouses is quite similar to the effect of water on a piece of soap. To prepare the saltrated water, which is both medicated and oxygenated, simply dissolve in about a gallon of water a handful of the refined Reudel Bath Saltrates, which is obtainable at little cost from any chemist, this being the registered name by which medical men and chiropodists prescribe the compound.
