Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shriyel
up Corns or Calluses so They Lift
on With Fingers

Ouch 2! ! This kind of
rough talk will be heard less here
in town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching corn
or hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callus
dries up and lifts right off without
pain.
He says freezone dries immediate
~ and never inflames or even irri-
tates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very lit
tie at any drug store, but will posi-
lively remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from ones feet Millions
of American women will welcome
this announcement since the inaugu-
ration of the high heels. II your
druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order a small bottle for you.
