Corns Stop Hurting, Then
They Lift Out With Fingers
No pain or soreness! Corns and calluses just
shrivel up and lift off. It's foolish to
let corn ache twice.

A noted Cincinnati authority discov-
cred new ether compound and called
it freeZone and it now can be had in
little bottles for few cents from any
drug store.
You simply apply a few drops of
freezone upon a tender corn or painful
callus and instantly the soreness dis
appears, then shortly you will find the
corn or callus so loose that you can
just lift it off with the fingers.
No pain, not bit of soreness, either
when applying freezone or afterwards
and it doesn't even irritate the skin.
