WONDERFUL STUFF!
GEE! YOU'LL LlKEIT
Apply a few drops then lit
eorns or calluses off with
finsers-no palm.

No humbug! Any corn. whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without a par
ticle of pain or soreness.
This drug Is called freezone and is
a compound OF ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a quarter
ounce Of freeIone, which will cost but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender. aching corn or callus. In
stsntly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and car be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think, No pain at all; no sore
mes or smarting when applying it or
sfterws rds. Try a little and see for
yourssG.-Adv.
