LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
lievcd and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is APP
plied, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.
