SEEMS EVERYONE
HEARD ABOUT IT
ALL WANT TO TRY NEW DRUG
THAT DRIES UP coRNs So
THEY LIFT OUT.

$ Good news spreads rapidly and
ing freezone, the recent discovery Of a
Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn so it lifts out with
the fingers.
A quarter of an ounce costs very lit
tie at any pharmacy, but is said to be
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inf1ames or even irritates the adjoin-
ing tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lockjaw
and infection heretofore resulting from
the suicidal habit of cutting corns.

poets having recently been uncovered.
diamond drill has just been unloaded
for use on a recently located property
twelve miles from that town. There
are rumors of other important discov
cries in that locality, the extent and
exact location of which are being sup
pressed. Some recent new activities
in the Pine, Feathervile and Rocky
Bar camps, of which Hill City is the
gateway and natural supply point, have
also created a furry in mining circles
and as consequence, a number OF
folks have been purchasing town lots
and other Hill City property, getting
ready for the boom that is headed that
way. Doc says Hill City is the best
little town in Idaho-and, added that
bunch of the best people live there.
You are as right as rabbit on that
proposition. Doc.
