CORN oil
& Guaranteed Cure.

The thousands Of people suffering with
corns would lead one to believe there is
no cure for them.
Now, without venturing into the use
of Understanding medical terms let's study
the cause, nature and treatment of corns.
Every one has observed that briskly
rubbing the hands together produces q
heat caused by friction. This same fric-
ton is what everyone has observed in
wagons, buggies or car wheels called a
shot box" 1t is when the lubricant or
oil is consumed that the friction heats the
axle and box of the wheel. The driver of
a wagon or carriage or the conductor of
q car knows the only remedy is to stop
and oil the wheel. He is careful to use
just the proper oil if it is to be had.
Now tight shoe. on human foot
causes the same friction to a less degree
and the heat thus caused together with
the pressure of the shoe on the foot con-
sumes the oil provided by nature in the
skin. There is then an overtax on that
particular part and nature Immediately
assumes the task Of building up and pro
tecting that part. She forms layer after
layer of insensative callus which as it
gradually prOtrudes above the level of
the adjoining surface receives the greater
amount Of pressure. AS this heavy layer
of callus. called corn, is pressed against
the healthy and sensitive adjoining flesh
it gives intense pain. The corn in itself is
not, as many people suppose, the painful
part.
Many resort to knives, razors, strong
acids and hundreds of nostrums for relief.
They either cut away or eat away with
acid the hard callus-they get temporary
relief and they say their corn is cured,
but in a few days the very tender and
sensitive flesh, left bare by the sudden
removal of the callus or corn with knife
or acid, less able to withstand the pres
sure than when the formation of the corn
began, now again appeals to nature-the
corn is rebuilt, only larger than before
and the victim again inyokes curses upon
the head of the ''corn doctor"
The principle Of treatment is in error.
A knife or strong acid or any other sudden
removal of corn should NEVER be re-
sorted to. The formation of corn is
gradual; the cure must be the same.
Work upon the cause and the effect will
take care of itself.
Supply the oil which nature lacks as a
lubricant for the skin and you DESTROY
the friction and the corn gradually dis
appears. 1t is only necessary that you
use the proper oil or lubricant as near
like the oil of the skin an can be had One
that will heal the sentative tissues ada
cent to the callus and prepare them to
meet the demand when the calus is re-
moved. One also that will soften the
callus and render it less painful to the
healthy flesh. Any salve is to be avoided
for the reason that they fill with q resi-
due the pores Of the skin, thereby cutting
off all egress for the disposal Of the lmpur-
tiles. To illustrate:-If you should paint
the entire body ola person with some of
these salves they would die in less than
"a hours.
CORN OIL TO THE RESCUE.
We have upon the above basis perfect
ed a cure for COINS, a remedy from which
we can guarantee satisfactory results. 1t
is not ''one-night cure" but it is a per-
manent cure. 1t penetrates and softens
the callus, heals the parts adjacent and
under the corn and in a short time the
corn "sheds OFF, and leaves a perfectly
healed skin in its stead. Corn oil is put
up in bottles. Sample 10c, by mail 15c.
