LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How To Loosen A Tender Corn
Or Callus so it Lifts Out
Without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a Week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is
relieved and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, lifts off with the
fingers.
Freezone dries the moment 1t IS ap-
Piled. and simply shrivels the corn OF
callus without inflaming or even irri-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
A small bottle of freezone will cost
very little at any of the drug stores
but will positively rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or hardened
callus. II your druggist hasn't any
freezone he can get it at any wholesale
drug house for you.-tAdvt) i

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE.
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys if Back
Hurts or Bladder
BOthers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells us that meat
forms uric acid, which almost para
lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to-
jexpel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken, then you|
suffer with dull misery in the kidd
ney region, sharp pains in the back
or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliigvnd
you to seek relief two or three time
during the night.
To neutralize. these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush Of
the body's urinous waste, get fou
ounces of Jad' Salts from any phaI
macy here; take tablespoonful
a glass of water before breakfast i'd
a few days and you kidneys will the
act fine. This famous salts is mad
from the acid of grapes and lemd
juice, combined with lithia, and hi
been used for generations to flu
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, al
to neutralize the acids in urine, so
no longer irritates, thus ending bla
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot
jure, and makes a delightful effe
vescent lithia-water drink.

less than sinkings weegs ago.
