New Foot Remedy Causes
Big Run on Drug Stores

Since the virtues of Ice-Mint as d
foot remedy became known in this
country, druggists have been having
an extraordinary demand for this pro-
duct, as it seems to be the only thing
that effectually overcomes the evils
of modern footwear.
The fact that this discovery which
is made from Japanese product will
actually remove corns-roots and all
and without the slightest pain or
soreness is of course mainly RESPONSE
BILE for its large and increasing sale.
Ice-Mint is very easy to use. You
simply apply little on a tender, ach-
ing corn or callus and instantly the
soreness is relieved and soon the corn
or callus is so shrivelled that it may
be lifted out easily with the fingers
roots and all-leaving the surround
ing skin in normal. healthy condition.
In minor cases of foot troubles, such
as tender, tired, swollen, aching, burn.
ing feet, it has been found that by rub

in the morning they will be kept cool,
easy and comfortable during the en-
tire day. Ice-Mint is clean, creamy,
snow-white, non-poisonious substance
that will not inflame or irritate the
most tender skin. In fact, it imparts
such a soothing-restful feeling to the
feet that it has become very popular
with ladies who wear high heel shoes
and with men who have to stand On
their feet all day. II you want to

Most Old People
Are Constipated

The wear of years irnpairs the
action of the bowels. AS people
grow older they restrict their
activity, neglect to take sufficient
exercise, and indulge a natural
disposition to take things easy.
The digestive organs become
more sensitive to the demands
made upon them and rebel more
quickly.
It is of special importance to
the health of elderly people that
the bowels be kept normally
active. A mild, yet effective,
remedy for constipation, and
one that is especially suited to
the needs of old folks, women
and children, is the combination
of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin sold in drug stores under
the name of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. 1t costs only
fifty cents a bottle, and should be
in every family medicine chest.
A trial bottle, free of charge,
can be obtained by writing to
