WONDERFUL Stuff
LIFT OUT YOUR coRNS
Apply a few drops then lift corn. q,
eslluses off with fingers
NO pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without a
particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
trifle, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone dosen't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels them
without even irritating the surround
ing skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sorc-
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order it for
you.
