Mr. McWard in recent years has devoted most of his time to treating the corn and attacking its assailants. . ° Things reached a climax recently when, a huge flower-pot fell from a window and landed squarely on the little toe. The pain was so Excruciating that Mr. McWard hurried home, grabbed a rifle, and smashed his toe and the corn with a bullet. Now Mr. McWard is in hospital, and the question of amputating the entire 1 foot is raised.
