Are you one of them?
II you notice nothing more than an
itching between your toes-don't think

the way Athletes Foot begins. Next the
skin may turn white, feel moist, un-
wholesome. Or 1t may turn red. as IL
often does, producing rawness some
times SO painful that shoes cannot be
worn. Don't let this happen to you.
And, above all, beware of breaks in the
skin through which blood poison, lock-

blood stream.
