Cincinnati authority tells how to dry

of with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus. stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted out, root and all. without pain.
A small bottle of frcezone cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.
