How to Cure Corns.

There are multitudes of corn cures, some qf which are supposed to operate .by some mysterious magical agency, and others by chemical action upon the corn. The latter are the only ones to be depended upon. The following is a simple and effective remedy, known as the Algerian com cure: Acetic aoid, 1 ounce; idoline, 37 grains; alcohol, 1. ounce. Dissolve the iodine in the alcohol, and add the acetic acid. A few drops of the liquid are to be rubbed on the corn morning and evening, so as to gradually dissolve it. The same remedy will be found effectual for removing warts, if applied daily for a week or two.
