(Q) What causes the warts on the hand and how may they be
removed?
(A) This, as has been indicated, happens to most every
individual in those periods of the change that comes about
for glandular reaction; and it is the effect of the
localizing of centers that attempt to GROW - as they do!
As we find, they may be removed by touching same with a
twenty percent (20%) solution of Hydrochloric Acid. But do
not pick at them as the discoloration takes place, and as
they begin to deteriorate! Rather let them wear off than
pick at them, see? for such would allow too great a chance
for infection by the irritating, and cause disturbance;
otherwise they will disappear. In touching them with the
Acid it is preferable to use either a glass pestle (that is,
a small round piece of glass) or a broomstraw.

4/11/38 "I would like a check rdg. to ask about weight,
exercise (enough or not) and warts on hand...would appreciate
it if you have time. Do think I ought to put on a little

633-11 Reports - his
receiving ltr. from Co., etc.
4/29/38 "Have been taking Codiron regularly but haven't
noticed whole lot of difference in any way. Have been
feeling fine, may be a little 'peppier', appetite good (never
was anything wrong with it). If gain any weight will let you
know - imagine will take some time. I feel good, maybe
better than used to but don't remember 'feeling bad' any time
before. No change in warts - do seem to be cracking up a
little - probably take quite a while to get then off, as they
are so large. It has already taken off two small ones and
stopped another that was just starting."

bite).
