LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells why n corn Is SO painful and
says cutting makes
them grow

, Press an electric button and you
form a contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes press
against your corn 1t pushes its sharp
roots down upon sensitive nerve and
you get a shock OF pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, just
step into any drug store and ask for
q quarter OF an ounce of freezone. This
will cost very little but Is sufficient to
remove every hard or, soft corn OF
callus from ones feet. A few drops
applied directly upon tender, aching
corn stops the soreness Instantly, and
soon the corn shriyels up SO 1t lifts
right out, root and all, without pain
This drug freezone is harmless and
never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin.
