New Corn Remover in Big
Demand, Says Druggists

Since the virtues Of Ice-Mint as a corn
remover became known In this country.
druggists have been having an extraordi-
nary demand for this product and II IS
predicted that this summer women will
wear smaller and prettier shoes than
ever.
The fact that this new discovery which
is made from a Japanese product will &C
tually remove corns-roots and all-and
without the slightest pain or soreness. is
OF course mainly responsible for It's
large and increasing sale.
You apply just a little on tender, Ich-
ing corn and instantly the soreness IL re.
lieved. and soon the corn Is SO shriveieu
that it may be lifted out with the fingers
root and all.
1ce-Mint is a clean. creamy. snow-white
non poisonous substance and will never
tnf1ame or irritate the most tender skin
Cutting or pairing corns often produces
blood poisoning. and people are warned
to stop il.
Just ask in any drug store for a small
jar of Ice-Mint. which will cost little. yet
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every corr
or callous. You'll like 1t immensely.-Adv
