How's This.
COrns Lift Out
With Fingers-No Pain! !

Thanks to new discovery made
from a Japanese product your foot
troubles can be quickly ended.
Ice-Mint as this new preparation is
called is said to shrivel up hard corns,
soft corns or corns between the toes
so that they can be lifted out easily
with the fingers. It's wonderful. Think
of it: only a touch or two of Ice Mint
and real foot-joy is yours.
There is not one bit of pain or sore
ness when applying it or afterwards
and 1t doesn't even irritate the skin.
II your feet are inclined to swell or
puff, or If you have cracked or bleed
ing toes it will draw the inflammation
right out and quickly heal the sore and
tender places. 1t is the real Japanese
secret of fine. healthy little feet and is
greatly appreciated by women who wear
high heel shoes and by men who have to
stand on their feet all day. Try it. Just
ask in any Drug store for Ice-Mfnt and
learn for yourself what solid foot COM
fort really is. There is nothing better
