Throw Away Your
Corn Plasters

Here's better way to keep those
miserable, stinging, painful corns
from hurting! That gets rid of the
corns themselves without drawing a
drop of blood! No cutting, no pulling
out, no pumicing.
Just rub your corrs briskly with
Moone's Emerald Oil at bedtime, if
you want to get rid Of them quickly.
Binding the part with cloth soaked
in the oil will further speed the pro-
cess.
Takes the sting right out-sootres
your tortured feet at once. Corns
won't hurt next day, either. And in
day or two they'll all be gone for
good. They just shrivel up and scale
off-as easy as anything.
