Wonderful Stuff!
Lift Ont Your Corns

No ~humbug! Any corn, whether hard,
soil or between the toes. will loosen right
up and lift ont, without a particle of pain
or preness.
This drug is called freezone and is n
compound of ether discovered by n Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small bottle
of f~reezone, which viii cost but n trifle.
but il sufficient to rid ones feet of every
corn or callus.
Put q few drops directly upon any ten
der, aching corn, or eallus. Instantly the
soreness disappears and shortly the corn
or callus vii loosen and can be lifted off
with the fingers.
This ding called freezone doesn't eat
out the cdfns or ~calluses but shrivels them
without een irritating the surrounding
skin.
Just think! No pain at all: no sore
ness or nnarting when applying it or af-
terwardsi If your druggist don't have
