Cincinnati Man Discovers
Drug That Loosens Corns
So They Lift Out.

Local druggists are having tre-
mendous call for freezone, the drug
which is said to shrivel a corn, root
and all, without any pain.
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn relieves the sore
ness at once, and shortly the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out with
the fingers.
This new drug is being dispensed at
small cost in quarter ounce bottles,
which is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft corn from ones feet. 1t
is a sticky substance which dries at
once. and does not inflame or even
irritate the surrounding tissue or skin.
There is no excuse for anyone invit-
ing death by infection or lockjaw
