CORNS LIFT OUT

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will

corn or callus from ones feet.
few drops of this new ether COM

aching corn relieves the soreness in

callus. root and all. dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man. who says that freezone dries in
a moment. and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
