LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells why corn is so painful and
says cutting makes
them grow

Press an electric button and you
form contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn it pushes it's sharp
roots down upon sensitive nerve and
you get shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter of an ounce of freezone.
This will cost very little but is suf-
ficient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. A few
drops applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn stops the soreness instant
ly, and soon the corn shrivels up so
it lifts right out, root and all without
pain. This drug freezone is harmless
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin.
