Corns and Warts.
These troublesome excrescences re
ceive much attention in the domestic
columns of our exchanges, and we
copy a few of the hints given to suf
ferers, with the promise of speedy
relief: First, One writer says: ;t For
more than a year I was afflicted with
a large corn on the ball of my left
loot, and also a large wart on the
palm of my left hand. I hit upon a
cure for both. It was a simple ap
plication of wood (hickory) ashes and
strong cider vinegar enough to moist
en. I kept it on thirty-six hours,
often adding more vinegar to keep
up the moisture, The application
was then renewed for thirty-six hours
more, when I found all pain had
leased, both being entirely destroyed.
I then could wear my hoot, and, by
a small application every night of
beef tallow, in one month all the hard
substance that had formed around the
corn had been removed. There is
non- no trace left of either corn or
wart. ” Second. For soft corns be
tween the toes, another writer bids
us take a bit of soft linen or cotton
batting, saturate it thoroughly with
glycerine, and then dip into tame acid
and apply to the corns. Third. A
physician says that warts may he
removed “by rubbing them night
and morn with a moistened piece of
muriate of ammonia. They soften
and dwindle away, leaving no such
marks as follow their dispersion with
lunar caustic.” Fourth. A chemist
suggests still another cure for warts:
Dissolve a few lumps of bi-chromate
of' potash in a little water. Apply
ireveral times each day. ” Fifth.—
.And llalFs Journal of Health directs
the sufferer to “ dip a stick the size
of a knitting-needle into muriatic
acid, aud touch the top of the wart
night and morning with what adheres
to the stick, to effect a painless cure.
Buy a small quantity in a glass-stop
pered bottle, keep it out of the way
of children, off your clothes and the
skin, and you are safe in using it. ”
Driving Piles xx Sand. —The
contractors who had charge of pre
paring the sheet piling which w as to
protect the hospital at Breck-sur-Mcr,
in France, were much troubled in
driving the piles by the compactness
of the wet sand, and finally made use
of tubes which were driven at the
same time with the pile, their lower
ends being a few inches below the
points of the piles; through these
'.tubes water was forced by small
hand engines, and so loosened the
sand that the advance of the pile was
?asy and rapid. In the case of pan
inels of sheet piling, the benefit was
even more marked. Careful observa
tions showed that by the ordinary
process it took, on an average, ISS
‘•trokes to drive a ten inch pile ten
feet, while 900 blows were needed
to drive the panels. The hammer
weighed 1,320 pounds, and had a fall
of six and one half feet. The aver
age time required to drive a pile and
panel was eight hours and a half.
After the device of loosening the
sand by the pressure of water was
adopted it was found that the aver
age time required to accomplish this
was one hour and nine minutes,
while to drive a pile and a panel
never more than fifty blows were
required, and often the mere weight
of the hammer was enough to sink
the pile.
