Ingrowing Toe Nails

This most painful of the diseases of the nails is caused by the improper manner of cutting the nail (generally of the great toe), and then wearing a short, badly-made shoe. The nail beginning to grow too long, and rather wide receipts will be apparent when it is noticed gives rise to the heat and itching that are so distressing. (See No. 4883.)
