New Corn Remover in Big
Demand Says Druggists
Since the virtues of ice-mint as a
coin remover became known in this
country druggists have been having
an extraordinary demand for this
product and it is predicted that this
summer women will wear smaller
and prettier shoes than ever.
The fact that this new discovery
which is made from a Japanese pro
duct will actually remove corns—
roots and all—and without the slight
est pain or soreness, is of course
mainly respdnsible for its large and'
increasing sale.
\ou apply just a little on a tender,
aching corn and instantly the sore
ness is relieved, and soon the corn is
so shriveled that it may be lifted out
with the fingers—root and all.
lce-m!nt is a clean, creamy, snow
white, non-poisonous substance and
will never inflame or irritate the most
tender skin.
Cutting or paring corns often pro
duces blood poison ana people me
wained to stop it.
Just ask in any drug store for a
small jar of ice-mint which will cost
little yet is sufficient to rid one's feet
of every corn or callous. You'll like
it immensely.—Advertisement.
