LISTEN TO THIS!
SAYS C0RNS LIFT
RIGHT OUT NOW

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn, the soreness is relieved
and soon the entire corn root and all,
lifts out with the fingers.
1t is a sticky ether compound which
dries the moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce Of freezone
will cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every hard or soft corn or
callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is a suicidal habit.
