GROWTHS ON FEET.
PAINFUL NEW DISEASE. «■ . GIRLS CHIEFLY AFFECTED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday. Walking its leisurely way round the world in an epidemic form, verruca, a -foot disease about which little is known, .is taking New Zealand in its stride. Young girls principally are affected. Hovs and youths seldom develop the disease, and older people*but rarely. Verruca manifests itself in little hard growths on the soles of the feet. In their initial stages these are almost invariably mistaken for corns, but as they grow inwards their pressure on thc| nerves of the skin causes severe pain.
