Show SUNDAY, MAY 31. 1153 THICKENED TOE NAILS ... U.S. SOMETIMES the toe nails, especially the great toe nail, become so thick and hard that trimming is difficult or impossible with ordinary nail scissors or nail Hie. Only agent that will soften the hardened, thickened nail is Liq Potassium Hvdroxide, U.S P., but this is powerful stuff and should be applied to the nail only by moistening a bit of cotton on a toothpick and carefully mopping the nail only, twice a day for two or three days. Tbe most satisfactory way to deal with toe nails that cannot be trimmed with ordinary imple--1 ments is to leave the job to a chiropodist. Perhaps with toe clmoers the chiropodist can trim nails that defy ordinary file or scissors. Some one kindly sent me some little blocks of a light but sharp pumice called lavastone. This is excellent for removing corns and calluses and for rasping thickened nails to make them thin enough to trim with ordinary nail scissors. LAVASTONE, I find, is most effective when used after soaking the feet or nails in hot water for several minutes. A well equipped chiropodist uses an electric burr with precision to thin down thickened nails to a manageable state. kli- at the they told me it was just! my nerves . . . (W. B. A.)
