Ladies! Salute Him! Discovers drug that loosens sore, touchy corns so
 they lift out

A noted Cincinnati chemist discov- cred a new ether compound and call ed 1t freezone and little quarter ounce bottles can now be obtained from any drug store for a few cents.
 - You simply apply several drops of fr5ezone upon tender corn or pain ful callus and instantly the soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can just lift 1t off with the fingers.
 No pain, not a bit of soreness, either when applying freezone or af- rewards and 1t doesn't even irritate the skin.
 Hard corns, soft corns or corns be- tween the toes, also toughened cal fuses just shrivel up and lift off so easy. It is wonderful! Seems mag ical. It works like a charm. Mil lions of women will hereafter keep a little bottle of the wonderful freezone handy and never let a corn ache twice.-Adv, l-... .---
