Women wear heels. which buckle up their toes and they suffef terribly from corns. Women then proceed to trim these pests, seeking relief, but they hardly realize the terrible dang CT from infection, says a Cincinnati authority.
 Corns can easily be lifed out with the fingers if you will get from any drug store quarter of an ounce of a drug called freezone. This is suf- ficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. You simply apply a few drops directly upon the tender, aching corn. The soreness is relieved at once and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out without pain.
 This is a sticky substance which dries in moment. It just shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. Cut this out and pin on your wife's dresser.-Adv.
