An old guide notes callous spots on feet form from pressure and friction and can be rubbed away in the daily bath. Soften them with pumice or by binding the spot overnight with crude petroleum after bathing. Plaster wraps or poultices may also help, allowing the area to perspire and heal. The piece ends with a fragment about a Chinese mission and a dishes washing anecdote.
