: Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain
You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or callous the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callous, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap­
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or
callous without inflaming or even ir­
ritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but will positively rid one’s
feet of every hard or soft corn or
hardened callous. If your druggist
hasn’t any freezone he can get it at
any wholesale drug house for you.

Mr. Starr, a widower Methodist minister, has been assigned to the
congregation at Mount Mark, la. He has five daughters, Prudence, the

Constance. Their advent stirs the curiosity of all Mount Mark, and
members of the Ladies’ Aid lose no time in getting acquainted and
asking a million questions. Prudence, who is nineteen, has her hands

glossy hair can only be had by brew-
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul-
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sul­
phur enhances its appearance a hun­
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix­
ture; you can get this famous old re­
cipe improved by the addition of other
ingredients for 50 cents a large bottle,
all ready for use. It is called Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair.
Everybody uses “Wyeth's” Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell It has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli­
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This
ready to-use preparation is a delight­
ful toilet requisite for those who de­
sire dark hair and a youthful appear­
ance. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.
