LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or calIus so it lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter:
wear shoes size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
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 dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
# your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get a small
bottle of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.
