KNIFE ON CORNS
 CAUSES LOCkJAW
Tells how to loosen a tender corn so 1t lifts out with
 out Pain.

You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the fingers.
 It is a sticky substance which dries the moment it is applied and is said to simply shrivel the corn without in flaming or even irritating the sur rounding tissue or skin. It is claimed that quarter of an ounce will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn Or callus.
 You are further warned that cutting at a corn is a suicidal habit.

Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat forms
 uric acid.

We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.
 When your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps oelead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach Or rheumatism in bad weath- CT, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in few days your kidneys will act tne. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for genera tions to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive ard cannot injure; makes delightful effervescens Whitewater drink, and nobody can make a mistake by taking little oc- casionally to keep the kidneys clean and active. (Advertisementl

The action of hot water and limestone phosphate ou an empty stomach is wonderfully iD- vigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases and acidity and gives one splendid appetite for breakfast.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- pbate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens tue skin, so hot water and limestone phos- phate act on the blood and internal organs.
