LIKE ELECTRIC BUTTON ON TOES
TELLS WHY A CORN IS so PAIN. FuL AND SAYS CUTTING MAKES THEM GROW.

Press an electric button and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the teil- When your shoes press against your corn it pushes its sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain.
 Instead of trimming your ccrns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a q -trter of an ounce of freezone- This will cost very little but is sufficient to rtEiove every hard or soft corn or cal luf from ones feet. A few drops ap- ? d directly upon tender, aching csr.i stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain. J''is drug is harmless and never in- ames or even irtitates the surround ia tissue or skin.
