SAYS THE DRUG Isl
AN ETHER COMPOUND
Just a few drops lOOsens any corn so
it lifts out without pain.

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me quarter Of = n - 5Ji iissts
Of freezone. This will cost very
little but is sufficient to remove ev-
cry hard or soft corn from ones
feet
A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn should relieve
the soreness instantly, and soon the
entire corn, root and all, can be lif-
ted out with the fingers without
pain.
This new drug called freezone is
an ether compound discovered by
Cincinnati man, who says that while
freezone is sticky it dries in mo-
ment, and simply shrivels up the
corn without inf1aming or even irri
tating the surrounding tissue or
skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns,
but cut this out and make him try it.
