Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry Up Any Corn or Callus So It
 Lifts Right Of.

You eorn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on tender, aching corn stops soreness at once and soon the corn loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, without bit of pain.
 A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not ta inflame or even irritate the surrounding tissue or skin.
 If your wife wears high heels she will be glad to know this. Adv.
