Fleshy leaves used to remove corns and calluses. Three descriptions of its use, essentially the same but differing in detail, were given by the three consultants. (1) Prick the leaf all over with a pin or needle, put it on the stove and bake it on one side, then the other. Place the leaf over the corn or callus and leave it there to remove the growth. (2) Heat the leaf over the fire, peel the skin off one side, place the leaf over the corn or callus -- peeled side down -- and leave it there to remove the corn or callus. (3) Cook the leaf over a flame, peel one side and prick the peeled side with a needle and bind the leaf over the corn or callus to remove it.
