Just take your shoes of, then
put those weary, shOe-crinkled, ach-
ing, burning, cOrn-pestered, bUnion
tortured feet of yours in a 'Tiz'
bath. Your toes will wriggle with
joy; they'll look UP at you and al
most talk and then they'll take an
other dive in that "Tiz" bath.
When your feet feel like humps o.
Iead-au tired out-just try 'TiZ."
It's grand-it's glorious. Your feet
will dance with joy; also you will
find all pain gone from cOrns, cal
louses and buniOns.
There's nothing like "Tiz." It's
the only remedy that draws out all
the poisonous eXudatiOns which puff
up your feet and cause foot torture.
Get a 25-cent box of "TiZ" at anv

wait. All, how glad your feet get;
how comfortable your shoes feel.
You can wear shoes a size smaller If
you desire.
