LIKE AN ELECTRIC
 BUTTON 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 its sharp roots down upon a 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 you very little but it is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corns of callus from ones feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn stops the soreness in stantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, with out pain. This drug freezone is harm less and never infiames or even ire tates the surrounding skin. Adv.
