Why You Should
Never Pare a Corn

If you are troubled with corns or
calluses do not run the risk of blood
poison by pairing them. Statistics show
that many deaths have occurred from
this seemingly innocent practice of
pairing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and get
a few cents worth of Ice Mint, rub "a
little on any painful corn or callus.
Immediately the pain will ei~appear
and in a short time the corn or callus
will loosen and lift off easily with the
fingers-root and all-leaving the sur
rounding skin in a healthy. normal
condition. -. 49,. ..u
This, together with the fact that lee
Mint overcomcs such affections as
sore, tired, aching. puffed or burning
feet and makes them cool, easy and
comfortable, is probably responsible for
the hearty endorsement given it by
druggists.
To rid ones feet of every hard corn,
soft corn, corn between the toes or
1,ainful calIlses in such a pleasant and
safe way. makes it seem the height
of folly for anyone to pare a corn, and
people are: warnsd 10 stop 1t.
