QOOO-BVC CORNS. AT LAST !—Somethlno that <Jittol»e» them entirely out, not merely burn* the top off. Calloueee toon made eoft — freeh putty, without utina plMtere, cutting «r , Muitlo liquid!. j The thick, hardened skin of which corns and callouses are composed, of course, contain no nerves or bloodvessels. In faot, the upper layers afe practically dead. In the cnee of a corn, it is not the top that causes such pain. It is the little poinied part which estends down into the toe and presses on sensitive nerves. Cutting the top oft with a razor or burning if off with caustic liquids, pastes, and plasters is wasting time. Also, it is dangerous, and may cause blood-poisoning or even tetanus (lockjaw). Instead of such purely temporary expedients, try soak- • ing your feet in the "saltrated" water, prepared by dissolving a handful of Reudal Bath Saltrates in a gallon of hot water. This will dissolve the oil and sebaceous matter from hardened, calloused, and "corny" skin, leaving it co soft that corns are easily picked out, root and all. A 3 for callouses, they can be scraped right off with the dull edge of a knife. The water can have no effect whatsoever on sound, healthy skin. All chemists keep Reudal BatV Saltrat** put up in boxes of_convenient aize and It very moderate wP«.—(Ad.)
