LIFT YOUR CORNS OFF WITH
FINGERS
Tells How to Loosen q Tender Corn
or Callus SO it Lifts Out without
Pain

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an aw-
full death from lockjaw or blood
poison are now told by a Cincinnati
authority to use a drug called free
zone, which the moment few drops
are applied to any corn or callus the
soreness is relieved and soon the en-
tire corn or callus, root and all, lifts
off with the fingers.
!. Freezone dries the moment it Is
applied and simply shriyels the corn
or callus without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin. A small bottle of freezone
will cost very little at any OF the
drug stores. but will positively rid
ones feet Of every hard or soft corn
or hardened callus II your drug
gist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for
you.
