GETTING RID OF A CORN.
HEROIC MEASURES TAKEN BY SUFFERER MAY MEAN LOSS OF FOOT. Thomas Me Ward, of Charleston, West Virginia, lias achieved a record in heroic chiropody. For years lie suffered martyrdom from a corn on tho little toe of His left foot. It was situated so high that pedestrians kicked it almost daily, and, indeed, Mr McWard in recent years had devoted most of his time in treating the corn and attacking its assailants. Things reached a climax recently, says a Charleston despatch, when a huge flowrr-jMit fell from a window and landed squarely on the little too. The pain was so excrutiating that air McWard hurried home, grabbed a rifle, and smashed his toe and the corn with a bullet. Now, says the “Daily Telegraph,” Mr McWard is in hospital, and the question of amputating the entire foot is raised.
