YES! LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT
PAIN!

Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or callus so ii lifts off
with fingers
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority. be-
cause a few drops of freezone applied
directly on tender aching corn or
callus. stops soreness at once and
soon the corn or hardened callus
loosens so it can be lifted out root
and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off very hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to irritate the surrounding skin
II your druggist hasn't any free
zone tell him to get a small bottle
for you from his wholesale drug
house. 1t is fine stuff and acts like
a charm every time.
