CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Warns women against cutting
corns and says they lift
right out.

Because style DEGREES that women
crowd and buckle up their tender toes
in high heel footwear they suffer from
corns, then they cut and trim at these
painful pests which merely makes the
corn grow hard. This suicidal habit
may cause lockjaw and women are
warned to stop it.
A few drops of drug called freez-
one applied directly upon a sore corn
gives quick relief and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts out without
pain. Ask the drug store man for a
quarter of an ounce of freezone, which
costs very little but is sufficient to re-
move every hard or soft corn or callus
from ones feet.
This drug is gummy but it dries IN
a moment and simply shrivels up the
corn without inflaming or even irrt-
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
