CURE FOR SOFT CORNS
A concentrated solution of tannin made by dissolving an ounce ol freshly-made tannin in six drachms of water, with the aid of gentle heat, gives- immediate relief to soft corns, if applied once or twice a day between the toes, after washing. Tannin in powder is not quite so effectual.
The following is another recipe for curing soft corns-.—First, keep the toes constantly open by placing a wad of cotton between them. Second, wear broad-toed shoes made of soft leather. Third, bathe the feet in warm water every night, wipe them dry, and apply aqua ammonia to the corn.
Soft corns are caused by squeezing the feet in narrow-toed shoes. By keeping the toes apart, you remove the cause and cure the corn.
