You May Find
 It In Stocking
Cincinnati authority says your troublesome corns just
 loosen and fall eff

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or corns between the toes just loosen in their sockets and fall off the next day if you will apply directly upon the corn a few drops of a drug called freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
 You merely put a drop or two of this freezone on the tender, touchy corn today and instantly the corn stops hurting, then tomorrow some time you may find the old torturous pest somewhere in your stocking, having fallen off entirely without a particle of soreness, pain or irrita- tion. The skin surrounding and be- heath the former corn will be as healthy, pink and smooth as the palm of your hand.
 quarter ounce of freezone is suf- ficient to rid ones feet of every corn and callus, and any druggist will charge but few cents for it. It is a csmpeund made from ether.
