Few Drops on a
Corn or CaIIus
Instantly stops pain and they
lift right off with fingers.

This tiny bottle holds
the wonder of wonders. 1t
contains an almost magi-
cal drug called freezone.
It is a compound made
from ether.
Apply a few drops of
this freezone upon a ten
der, aching corn or a
hardened callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears
and shortly you will find
the corn or callus so shriv-
eled and loose that you
just lift it off with the fin
gers. It doesn't hurt one
particle.
You feel no pain or
soreness when applying
freezone or afterwards. 1t
doesn't even irritate the
skin.
Just ask in any drug
store for a small bottle of
frcezone. This. will cost but
a few cents but will posi-
lively rid your poor suf-
fering feet of every hard
corn, soft corn. or corn
between the toes, or the
tough calluses on bottom
of feet
Keep a tiny hottie on the
d never let a corn ache
