DON'T LET WIFE
DE OF LOCKJAW
Warn Her Against Cutting
Corns Because They Can
Be Lifted Out.

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then pros
coed to trim these pets, seeking re-
lief. but they hardly realize the ter
rible danger from infection, says a
Cincinnati authority
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers If you will get from any
drug store quarter of an ounce OF a
drug called freezone. This Is sufficient
to remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. You simply
apply a few drops directly upon the
tender, aching corn. The soreness Is
relieved at once and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain
This Is a sticky substance which
dries in moment IT just shrivels W
the corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. Cut this out and pin on your
wifes dresser.-Adv.
