You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or hlood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authoritv to use a drug called freezone, which the moment, a few drops are applied to any corn or callus the soreness is re- \ lieved and soon the entire corn or cal- ' lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin- , gers. , Freezone dries the moment it is ap- 4 plied, and simply shrivels the corn or callus without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. j\ small noitie of freezone will cost veiy little at any of the drug stores, hut will positively rid one's feet of every haTd or soft corn or hardened callus. If your druggist hasn't any freezone he can get it at any wholesale drug house for you. After the United States, Germany and France are the largest producers ' of iron ore among the nations. A California inventor has patented a pan that can be attached to any broom to catch its sweepings. THE FIRST STEP Usually the first indication of a lowering of health is found in the 1 bowels and liver. Something goes ! ?wc cai iuu iuucii, or worK ' too hard?and the bowel actian 1 weakens or the iiver is sluggish. 1 That heavy feeling on arising in the morning, dryness of the throat, with bad taste, a slight headache, dull eyes?all show that food has fermented in the intes- * tines, and that the body is man- 1 ufacturing poisons instead of . good blood. j Clear it all out. Give the i stomach and bowels a fresh start. t Encourage the liver to go to j work. Manalin docs all of this, without griping or weakening. It's the ideal laxative and liver , tonic, because it follows Nature'? plan, without discomfort, inflam- 1 mation or forming a habit.
