ANY CORN LIFTS OUT, DOESN'T HURT A BIT! No foolishness! Lift your corns and calluses off with fingers --It's like magic! Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be Mfted right out with the fingers if you apply upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. For little cost one can get a small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one's feet of every corn or callusewithout pain. This simple drug dries the moment it is applied and does not even irri- tate the surrounding skin while eap- plying it or afterwards. This announcement will interest many of our readers. If your drug- gist hasn't any freezone tell him to surely get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. Punishment to Fit the Case.
