Demand, Say Druggist Since the virtues of Ice-Mint as a corn remover became known in this j i 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 of a Japanese product will actually remove corns roots and all —and without the slightest pain or soreness, is of course, main ly responsible for its large and In creasing sale. You apply just a little on a ten der, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the i corn is so shriveled that it may be lifted out with the fingers—root and all. Ice-Mint is a chan, creamy, snow | white non-poisonous substance and will never inflame or irritate the most tender skin. ! Cutting or paring corns often pro i duces blood poisoning, and people are | warned to stop it. [ Just ask in anv drug store for a I ( small jar of Ice-Mint, which will cost | ; little, yet is sufficient to rid one's , feet of every corn or callous. You'll I like it immensely. i ~ Miller's Antiseptic Oil Known An Snake Oil Will Positively Relieve Pain in Three I Minutes 1 Try It right now for Rheumatism, i Neuralgia.

This remarkable sub stance. because of its peculiar absorp tive power, actually removes the thin veil of faded or withered outer cuticle, a little at a time. Gradually the fresher, more youthful skin under neath is revealed. This absorption process heing a purely hygienic one, an entirely natural complexion is ac quired—<iuite different from the arti ficial complexion, which appears any thing but girlish, though often bear ing painful evidence of childishness. An ounce of mercolized wax, obtain able at any drug store, is sufficient to rejuvenate any complexion. It is put on like cold cream at bedtime, and removed mornings with warm water. To eradicate such age marks as wrinkles and furrows, make a wash lotion By dissolving one ounce of powdered saxollte in one-half pint witch hazel. This has wonderful as tringent and tonic properties. It quickly effaces all kinds of wrinkles, |no matter how caused, making the \ skin firm, smooth and young looking. I —Advertisement.
