Wading in rivers, brooks, or even the bathtub,dewy grassor the sea is magnetic. Walking on dusty roads, sand,earth is electric. Dry feet thoroughly, and rub them well with the hands,then use some oil: e.g., sweet almond oil, coconut or cocoa butter. Crude oil and keroseneare good also. Never use animaloids other than lanolin (from sheep'swool) or buner. Take especialcare to keep the grcat toe in good condition.
