Recent discovery of ether compound
that dries up colns so they lift out.

Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dispens-
ing freezone, the ether discovery of
a Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn so it lifts out with
the fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost
very little, but is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet of every hard or soft
corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the
corn is so shriveled that it lifts out
without pain. 1t is sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
infiames or even irritates the adjoin-
ing tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lock-
jaw and infection heretofore result
ing from the suicidal habit of cut
ting corns.-Adv.
