Slide 49

Slide #49: The Japanese Corn File, here shown in actual use, was a "safe, simple and efficient instrument, which can be used by a child with perfect safety, for the total eradication of corns..." Since it sold for 35 cents and could "last a family for years," it is not surprising that it has totally disappeared from the market today.
