THAT CORN.
11 r A PHYBICIAN. You can't expect a corn to disappear for good if you don't remove the pressure which causes it. Badly-fitting shoes or boots aro always to blame. So tho first thing to do is to get a pair that fit. It is no good buying shoos that aro too big, because* the rubbing goes on worse than before. The corn must be protected, and to'do that is a simple matter. Take a small piece of cotton wool and cut a hole in it. The shape of tho piece doesn't matter, but the hole should be just big enough to allow the corn itself to appear through it. Stick the cotton wool to the toe with ordinary gum. All tho pressure of tho shoo will fall on the surrounding wool, and not on tho corn, which will soon begin to disappear. Yon need not use paint or other application unless the corn is 60 painful that ycu cannot wait for it to subside on its own.
