LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells How to Loosen a Tender Com
or Callus So It Lifts Out
Without Pain.
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. Constipation
may be overcome with
its use j
