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 aresimply 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 thej' cause the acute misery by pressing or 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 clocged pores, also the oil from hardened skin, and leaves the latter almost as soft as a niece of water-soaked soap. In fact, I was told by the specialist who prescribed saltrated water I that its action on corns and callouses is I 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 Seudel Bath Saltrates, which is obtainable at little cost from any chemist, this being the registered name by Vhich medical men and chiropodists prescribe the compound.—Advt. RESIST DISEASE. Why is it that some people always keep well, while others are easy victims to whatever illness may be prevalent, be it influenza, pneumonia, rheumatism or something equally distressing? The reason is to be found in the condition, of the blood. It is when the blood is thin and weak that illness attacks us. If you take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and ' so maintain a supply of rich, red blood, you will find yourself ablo to resist disease.
