Re: the indian corn man
When you say a trick John, i saw the results on Paddys feet, and to him it was a miracle, i was only about 18 at the time, so no need of corn treatment, probably could do with his help now though, kt

I remember my mother telling me that many years ago a blackman used to be outside the Gladstone Dock gate and he would lick cataracts off peoples eyes.

Re: the indian corn man
An Indian fortune teller came on board in Madras in 1952, he looked at my palms and said I would live to 69 and then die,
I am over 82 now , I want my money back.. Five Rupees.
.
My mother was always going to fortune tellers, spending a fortune on them. , She wrote to another Indian fortune teller, and sent her money,
He wrote back and said she would die when she was 75, I went to see her on her birthday 75, she was OK just sat there waiting.
Nothing Happened. I told her to get her money back, No chance.
She died at 82,
Cheers
Brian

I watched the guy mess around for a few minutes then use the tube to withdraw what supposedly was a corn, I still do not know if it was a corn or some sort of trick. The reason I mention it is that if it was that easy to cure corns etc. Then why do people in the U.K. etc. spend so much money on chiropody ??

Re: the indian corn man
Like Brians mother there was a woman where I lived who was always attending these Spiritualist meetings.At on meeting the spiritualist said I am getting a message coming through for a Mary,she has a son Tom,a fair haired lad of 14.Mary jumped up that's me she said,well the message is said the spiritualist the boys father will die early morning on the 1st of September.She told her husband so when the date came all the family were sitting there waiting for the father to die.The hours passed,the husband got fed up and said that was a load of rubbish I'm going to have a cup of tea.He went to the front door to get the milk off the step and there was the milkman laying flat out on the step dead.
