YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS
You simply say to the drug store
man, "Give mo a quartor of an ounce
of freezone." This will cost very little
but Is suiilcient to remove every hard
or soft corn from one's foot.
A few drops of thin new ether com
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn should relievo the sore
ness instantly, and soon tho entire corn,
root and all, dries up mid cun bo lifted
out with the fingers.
This new way to rid one's feet ol
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that, while freezone is
sticky, it dries in a moment, and sim-
Sly shrivels up the corn without ill
uming or even irritating the surround
ing tissue, or skin.
Don't let father die of Infoc.tion or
lockjaw from whittling at his corns,
but clip this out and make ldai try It.
