I I +***, i Press an electric button and you form a contact with a live wire which rings the Bell. When your shoes press against your corn it pushes its sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very little "but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops applied di rectly upon a tender, aching corn stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out root and all, without pain. This drug never inflames or even irritates the surrounding tissue or skiu. "I FEEL AS STRONG AS AHORSE" SAYSUPJOHN P. R. R. Itrnkcinan Tells How He Got His Health unci Strength Back..
