    Share Share Post
    All people around here suffer from sore feet. Corns are the common disease of the feet and they are very painful. When people are finished working at night they wash their feet in salt and warm water sometimes the pare they corn with a razor. The people say that it is damp gives them the corns.
    All children go barefoot from the first of April till the first of October.When children go bare foot they get thorns and they take bealdings. The best cure for bealding is poultest of loaf bread.
