WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply few drops then lift corns or
calIuses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbug! ANY corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is a
compound of ether discovered by a Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of frcezone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or calus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out the
corns or calluses but shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you.

Looming Mirages.

In what are called looming mi rages" distant objects show an appar' ent extravagant increase in height without alteration of breadth. Distant pinnacles of ice are thus magnified into immense towers or tall. jagged mountains. and a ship thus reflected from far out at sea may appear to be twelve or fifteen times as tall as it is long. Rocks and trees are also shown in abnormal shapes and positions. while houses. animal and human be ings appear in like exaggerated shapes Before the sandy plains of our south western states and territories were converted into verdant fields by the ingenuity and tireless energy of man mirages were very common in those regions, the Indians regarding the phe- nOmenOn as being the work of evil spirits.
