CORNS.

Mr. Cooper, in his Dictionary of Surgery, gives the following recipe

as infallible for the cure of corns:—Take two ounces of gum ammoniac,

two ounces of yellow wax, six drams of verdigris, melt them together,

and spread the composition on a piece of soft leather or linen; cut

away as much of the corn as you can with a knife before you apply the

plaster, which must be renewed in a fortnight, if the corn is not by

that time gone.
