Two well-groomed, pretty feet are what every woman should reveal when she takes off her shoes and stockings. And, as her feet are frequently on display during the warm months, they are worthy of a little attention now.
First remember that your feet consist of innumerable small bones, fitted into one another, as in sockets, and, unfortunately, many of us are suffering from the days when our feet were crammed into shoes which were either too small or not suitable for us, Of all the ills that the foot is heir to, the most painful, frequent, and often very disfiguring, is corns.
And not only do corns disfigure the feet, but very frequently they age the face by helping to create lines and wrinkles which should not be there.
There are many kinds of corns, and a chiropodist can remove the worst corn without the slightest pain.—If they have not yet reached the neglected stage, however, they can be treated at home.
Corns which come under the sole of the foot are usually called callouses. Sometimes they can be removed by first soaking the feet in hot water and then rubbing with pumice stone. After treatment powder with boracic and apply a little lint so that dye from the stocking will not enter the skin.
