LIKE ELECTRIC
BUTTON on TOES
Tells Why a Corn Is So Pain
full and Says Cutting Makes
Them Grow

Press an electric button and you
form contact with live wire which
rings the bell When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes its sharp
roots down upon a sensitive nerve and
you get shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your eorns,
which merely makes them grow, just
quarter of an ounce of freezone. This
will cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or cal
lus from ones feet. A few drops ap-
piled directly upon tender, aching
corn stops the soreness instantly, and
soon the corn shriyels up so it lifts
right out root and all, without pain
This drug never inflames or even irri-
|tates the surrounding tissue or skin.
