WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calIuses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound OF ether discovered by Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
a trife, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted of with the fingers
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding 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 1t for you.
