Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.

of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat

These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects They don't injure the teeth like

of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why

and absolute use.
The provision for this fund which
is among the most remarkable ever

by Henry G. Freeman. Jr.. retired
businessman Of this city, who died re-
Gently. Mr.. Freeman provided for his
son and daughter and their descend

But he directed that the estate itself
should be kept intact and that all be-

KNIFE ON CORNS

Tells how to loosen q tender
corn 90 II lifts out with
out pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied to
any corn, the soreness is relieved an
soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts
out with the fingers.
1t Is sticky substance which dries
the moment 1t is applied and is said
to simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin. It Is claimed
that quarter Of an ounce of freezone
will cost very little at any Of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid ones feet
OF every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at corn is a suicidal habit.
