The term corn has been indiscriminately applied to every thickening of skin, or excrescence, incidental to the feet; the name is derived from the horny structure of the external skin, but is not strictly applicable to every induration. Although all corns are essentially similar in structure, they present varieties according to the parts upon which they are formed, or the tissue that becomes involved. I have therefore classed them under the following heads: --Hard, soft, festered, and neurovascular corns; callosities, and vascular excrescence. Pressure and friction are unquestionably the exciting causes of corns. Improperly made shoes invariably produce pressure upon the integuments of the toes and prominent parts of the feet, to which is opposed a corresponding resistance from the bone immediately beneath; in consequence of this, the secreting vessels are compressed, they become injured and congested, and a larger quantity of lymph is thrown out than is required for the formation of the new skin; the layers are generated considerably sooner than the outer surface is worn off, thus forming layer upon layer, which become interwoven, and adhere together. If the cause be removed, the inflammatory action ceases, and the result is simply an external induration of superficial irregular scales or laminae; if continued, the irritation keeps up the increased action of the secreting vessels of the already thickened skin, producing bulbs or projections, generally of a conical shape, descending into depressions of irregular depths, according to the injury caused upon the immediate parts where the external..
