 Hospital records show that every time you cut corn you invite loclljaw or blood poison, which is needless, says a Cincinnati authority, who tells you that quarter ounce of drug called freezone costs but few cents at any drug store but is sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus without even one little twinse of pain.
 You simply apply a few drops Of this freezone on a tender. aching corn and the soreness is instantly relieved. Shortly the entire corn can be lifted out, root and all. with your fingers
 This drug is sticky but dries at once and is claimed to just shrivel up any corn without infaming or even irFi- taIing the surrounding tissue or skin. If your wife wears high heels she szsu1 he. glad to know eS th4s.
