news for you.
The real, genuine Corn Killer" is

the new discovery made from a Jap
anese product, is said to surely and
quickly end all foot misery. Think of
it: only touch or two of that cool
ing, soothing Ice-Mint and real foot
joy is yours. No pain, not a bit of
soreness, either when applying 1t or
afterwards and IL doesn't even irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
1t just makes a pair of tired,
swollen, aching, burning feet glow
with cooling comfort.
Hard corns. soft corns or corns be-
tween the toes, also toughened oal-
louses just shrivel right up and lift
off so easy. It's wonderful.
Every foot sufferer can appreciate
a treatment like this, especially wo-
men who wear high heel shoes and
men who are obliged to stand on their
feet all day.
TRY it. Just ask in any drug store
for a few cents worth of Ice Mint and
learn for yourself what solid foot
comfort really is. There is nothing
better.-Advertisem
