In the evening attend to washing the feet and legs as soon as possible after the march. Cool water seems best to allay the sensation of heat and irritability resulting from their forcible impact on the road. Use very little soap if any and dry the feet well with a soft towel and apply friction gently until the skin is red. If there is any tendency toward rawness of the skin add common salt to the bathing water. Weston, the famous pedestrian, when asked what special preparation of the feet he made before his long record-breaking walks said that he “pickled his feet in a strong solution of common rock salt--the kind used for ice cream making--at the temperature of the body. Souse and soak the feet at bedtime. Then dry and if available souse them with extract of witch hazel which is allowed to dry on.” A tendency toward sweaty feet is natural with certain individuals. The sweat glands are simply over-active and the secretion easily decomposes and is highly offensive. The resulting softening of the skin permits of its rubbing off easily, and abrasions and blisters are apt to form. The treatment should be applied as soon as there is any sign of the trouble and is as follows: Bathe the feet in cool water and carefully dry them. Then paint with commercial formalin 1 part and water 9 parts and if this causes a burning of any portion of the raw skin wash it off with water. If formalin is not at hand a strong tea infusion or tannic acid solution will work as well. The object is to harden and practically tan the superficial layers of the skin and alter the secretions of the sweat glands. Repeat the above every other day for six days. Then dust with the Army Foot Powder. U. S. ARMY FOOT POWDER Salicylic acid 3 parts Powdered starch 10 parts Talcum powder 87 parts This is antiseptic, astringent and soothing.
