YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up corn or caIius so it llfts
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, because few
drops of freezone applied directly ON a
tender, aching corn or eallus, stops sore
ness 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 cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or calms. This should be tried,
~ 1t Is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
II your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.

CLIP. THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivei
up corns or caiIuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch 2 2? This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the Inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order small bottle for you.

Heed the Warning
Many Colfax People Have Done So.

Many COlfax People Have Done So.
When the kidneys are weak they give
unmistakable warnings that should not
be ignored. By examining the urine
and treating the kidneys upon the first
sign of disorder, many days of suffer-
ing may be saved. Weak kidneys u.s.
ually expel dark, ill-smelling urine,
full of ''brickdust" sediment and pain
ful in passage. Sluggish kidneys often
cause dull pain in the small of the
back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired,
languid feelings and frequent rheu-
matte twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
,neys only; they help weak Kidneys to
rid the blood of uric poison. There is
no better recommended remedy.
Read the statement that follows:
Mrs. 7. E. Messi, 90S Second St.,
Natchitoches, La, says: Il had lot
of tronble from my kidneys. The kid
ney secretions were unnatural and
caused me a lot of annoyance. My
back was sore and lame. l got a box
of Doan's Kidney Pills and they regu-
lated the action of my kidneys and
drove away the soreness from my back.
Whenever my kidneys are not acting
properly now, / take a few doses of
Doan's Kidney Pills and they never fail
to give me relief"
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't simp-
ly ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same Mrs. Messi
recommends. Foster Miburn Compa-
