 scribahle Fost Misery for 20 Years.
 Prof. F. T. Mcintyre, well known world tourist and lecturer, says: For years I was compelled to wear shoes two sizes too large, to be able to walk with any comfort at all. l tried soaking nv feet in medicated baths, powders, plasters and Establishments galore, but the burning calleuses and soreness re- fused to go, while the pains from corns and bunions continued to torture both mind and body, which upset my entire nervous system. One day, very forum ately, I met lady from Egypt who gave me little box of Gypsy Foot Relief, which she said was secret from the desert. After using it short time, the awful burning stopped, the call louses came of in chunks, leaving the skin of my feet clean and smooth, while the pains from corns and buniens seemed to disappear as if by magic. From that time, 1 said joyful good bye to over 90 years of iRdeserib- able foot misery. l would not take hundred thousand dollars to again go through those years ofagony.
