With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without a bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. ]. II. WATSON)

The kidneys and the skin work in har-
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. If we are
anxious to keep well and preserve the
vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the
blood from noxious elements, we must
pay special attention to a good action of
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed SO as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines. You will find
that Anuric is many times more active
than ithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

TanIac's Sale Phenomenal.
It is, indeed, doubtful if anything
ever placed on the market in the way
of a medicine has sprung into such
popular favor in so short sa time.
People everywhere have been quick to
recognize it's wonderful merit. The
demand for it has been nothing short
of phenomenal.
In Houston, Texas, where Tanlac
was placed on sale seven months ago,
over $4,000 bottles have been sold,
which according to druggists of that
city, has established a new record and
is unprecedented in the history of the
drug business. In Atlanta, over 10000
bottles were sold in twelve months
time; in Knoxville, the Kuhlman-
Chambliss Co. sold and distributed
48, 1926 bottles in nine months; in Louis
Vile, KY, the Taylor-Isaacs Co., who
operate eight retail stores in that
city, sold $4,000 bottles in less than
90 days. The demand for Tanlac in
San Antonio, Oklahoma City, Memphis,
Little Rock, Birmingham, Chattanooga
and Nashville, in fact everywhere it
has been introduced has likewise been
phenomenal and the demand for it is
continually increasing. A total of more
than a million and a half bottles of the
medicine has been sold through the
Atlanta office alone during the past
twelve months, and it is without doubt
the most widely talked of medicine in
the world today.
When asked to explain this record
breaking demand, Mr.. G.. F. Willis,
Southern and Western distributor of
Tanlac, said: "There can be only one
possible explanation, and it can be told
in one word, merit That tells the
whole story. No preparation, no mat
ter how extensively advertised, can
possibly meet with such phenomenal
success unless it possesses extraor-
binary curative power"
Thousands upon thousands are testi-
flying daily that they have been re-
| lieved of disease after years of suf-
fering by it's use.
