Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing
freezone, the recent discovery of Gin

corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
A quarter of an ounce costs very lit

sufficient to rid one s feet of every hard

You apply just few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveIed that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even initiates the adjoin-
