 He says that few drops of drug called freezone, applied directly upon tender, aching corn, instantly re- lieves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out.
 This drug is a sticky ether com- mound. but dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn without inflam- ing or even irritating the surround ing tissue.
