WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply A Few Drops Then Lift Corns
Or Calluses Off With Fingers
No Pain

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
jooseY right up and lift out, without
Ii particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
but trifle, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instant
ly the soreness disappears and short
ly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order it for
YOU. ALL

News came to Stanford Saturday
morning that DR.. w. B. Hum, the
well-known Shelby City physician,
had suicided by shooting, but it turns
out that the killing was accidental, as
the following from the Danville Ad-
vocate shows: DR.. Hum had been
called to the Bodner residence to at
tend a member of the family who is
i'll. He spent the night there. This
morning about daylight he started
out of the house carrying his coat on
his arm. In the coat he carried re.
volver, which dropped to the ground
as he stepped into the yard. The fall
caused the poistol to explode and the
charge struck DR.. HUM in the breast,
ranging up. Death was instantaneous.
He was about forty-six years of age
and was son of the late George
Hum. He had been practicing medi-
cine in the Junction City vicinity for
a number of years. He was a gradu-
ate of Centre College, having been
valedictorian of the class of 1891. He
is survived by his wife.
