You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn or toughened callus and instantly tho soreness is relieved, and soon tho corn or callus is so shriveled that it lifts out with out pain, lt is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never Inflames or even Irritates the sur-, rounding skin.

C. such ^-iws as seem wise to the local authority is inherent and has never been surrendered to the general gov ernment. To sustain this statute would not bo in our judgment a rec ognition of the lawful exertion of Congressional authority over inter state commerce, but would sanction an Invasion by the Federal power of tho control of a matter purely local in its character, and over which no authority has been delegatod to Con gress in conferring the power to reg ulate commerce among the States. "The act is two-fold in sense and ls repugnant to tho constitution, lt not only transcends the authority delegated to Congress over com merce, but also exerts a power as to a purely local matter to which the Federal authority does not extend. If Congress can thus regulate mat ters entrusted to local authority by prohibition of the movement of commodities lu Interstato commerce, all freedom of commerce would be at an end, and the power of the States over local matters will be eliminated, and thus our system of government be practically destroy ed."
