Why You Should
Never Cut a Corn
If you are troubled with corns or
oalictiises, do not run the risk of blood
poinon by paring them, statistics
shew that many infections have oo-
cu.red from this seemingly innocent
practice o paring corns.
B'mply go to your druggist and I at
some Ice-Mint, rub a little on any
painful corn or callous. The pnin
promptly disappear and In a short
time the com or callous will loosen
ami lift off easily root and all Wv
Uv, the surrounding skin In a healthy
normal condition
Thin, tofloiher with the fact that
fee Mint quickly eases such trouoltu
ss sore, tired aching, puffed or burn
ttv fwt and makes them cool, easy
and comfortable, is prohahly the m
son Tor the hearty endorsement given
It by drii&tiitts.
To rid one s feet of evory hard corn,
soft corn, corn oetweon the toes or
painful callouses in such a pleastnt
and safe way, mak It seem the
height of folly for anyone to pare i
com and people are warned to stop It.
