How To Overcome
Foot Troubles

Unless q person has actually suffer
ed with tired. aching. burning feet or
painful eorns or calluses, they cannot
appreciate the misery that such afflie-
tions bring.
Reports now show that over 90 per
cent Of the American people suffer
from some form OF foot troubles and
modern footwear Is said to be causing
an alarming increase In this percent
age. Therefore, the following should
prove Of special interest to readers.
Recently In the treatment OF these
foot troubles by patients using Ice
Mint. these distinctive features were
noticeable. Tired, aching, burning,
and swollen feet invariably become
cool. easy, and comfortable after the
first application, while in the treat
mept OF corns and calluses, II was
noticed that after few nights ap-
plication. the corn or callus had q
tendency to loosen. and in q short
time could easily be lifted out with
surrounding skin in normal. healthy
condition.
: This, together with the fact that
Ice-Mint costs little and Is so easy and
pleasant to apply-and Is absolutely
harmless-is no doubt responsible for
the high endorsement given II BY
Specialists as the surest. safest, and
most efhcacious treatment for dis
tressing foot troubles.
When you stop to consider that the
simple. pleasant process Of rubbing q
little Ice-Mint on the foot at night
will shortly rid one OF every painful
corn or callus, and will keep the feet
cool, comfortable and rested even on
the hottest days. II Is easy to under
stand its great popularity and why
II Is now used in nearly every Ameri-
can home. Anyone suffering from foot
troubles Is advised to give Ice-Mint 9
