“A man that is clean inside and out

Cincinnati Authority Tells
How to Dry up Any Corn
or Callus so it Lifts Right
Off
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no'longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied direct
ly on a tender, aching com stops
soreness at once and soon the com
loosens so it can be lifted out, root
and all, without a bit of pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store,
but is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft corn or callus. This
should be tried, as it is inexpensive
and is said not to inflame or even ir
ritate the surrounding tissues or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this. advt.
