Like Being Hit
By Rattle Snake
Says that every time you cut
or pick at a corn you
invite lockjaw

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 drug called freez-
one, which the moment a few drops
are applied to any corn, the soreness
is relieved and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out with the
fingers, without one particle of pain.
This freezone is sticky substance
which dries the moment it is applied
and just loosens the corn without
inflamming or even irritating the
surrounding tissue or skin. He says
a quarter of an ounce will cost very
little at any of the drug stores, but
this Is sufficient to rid ones feet OF
every hard or soft corn or callous.
You are positively warned that
cutting or picking at corn is a sui
cidal habit.
