and apply it on a piece of white leather.  Soak the feet well in warm water, then with a sharp instrument pare off as much of the corn as can be done without pain, and bind up the part with a piece of linen or muslin thoroughly saturated with sperm oil, or, which is better, the oil which floats upon the surface of the herring or mackerel.  After three or four days the dressing may be removed by scraping, when the new skin will be found of a soft and healthy texture, and less liable to the formation of a new corn than before.  Corns may be prevented by wearing easy shoes.  Bathe the feet frequently in lukewarm water, with a little salt or potashes dissolved in it.  The corn itself will be completely destroyed by rubbing it often with a little caustic solution of potash till the soft skin is formed.  Scrape to a pulp sufficient Spanish garlic, and bind on the corn over night, after first soaking it well in warm water, and scrape off as much as possible of the hardened portion in the morning.  Repeat the application as required.

HOW TO CURE SOFT CORNS.—­Scrape a piece of common chalk, and put a pinch to the soft corn, and bind a piece of linen rag upon it.

HOW TO CURE TENDER CORNS.—­A strong solution of tannic acid is said to be an excellent application to tender feet as well as a preventive of the offensive odor attendant upon their profuse perspiration.  To those of our readers who live far away in the country, we would suggest a strong decoction of oak bark as a substitute.

CAUSTIC FOR CORNS.—­Tincture of iodine, four drachms:  iodide of iron, twelve grains; chloride of antimony, four drachms; mix, and apply with a camel’s hair brush, after paring the corn.  It is said to cure in three times.

HOW TO RELIEVE CORNS.—­Bind them up at night with a cloth wet with tincture of arnica, to relieve the pain, and during the day occasionally moisten the stocking over the corn with arnica if the shoe is not large enough to allow the corn being bound up with a piece of linen rag.

REMEDY FOR CORNS.—­1.  The pain occasioned by corns may be greatly alleviated by the following preparation:  Into a one-ounce vial put two drachms of muriatic acid and six drachms of rose-water.  With this mixture wet the corns night and morning for three days.  Soak the feet every evening in warm water without soap.  Put one-third of the acid into the water, and with a little picking the corn will be dissolved. 2.  Take a lemon, cut off a small piece, then nick it so as to let in the toe with the corn, tie this on at night so that it cannot move, and in the morning you will find that, with a blunt knife, you may remove a considerable portion of the corn.  Make two or three applications, and great relief will be the result.

HOW TO CURE SOLVENT CORNS.—­Expose salt of tartar (pearlash) in a wide-mouth vial in a damp place until it forms an oil-like liquid, and apply to the corn.

HOW TO CURE CHOLERA.—­Take laudanum, tincture cayenne, compound tincture rhubarb, peppermint, and camphor, of each equal parts.  Dose, ten to thirty drops.  In plain terms, take equal parts tincture of opium, red pepper, rhubarb, peppermint and camphor, and mix them for use.  In case of diarroea, take a dose of ten to twenty drops in three or four teaspoonfuls of water.  No one who has this by him, and takes it in time, will ever have the cholera.
