GOOD-BYE CORNS. AT LAST!— Something that dissolves these entirely out, not merely burns the top off. Callouses soon made soli as fresh putty, without using plasters, cutting, or caustic liquids. Tho thick, hardened skin of which corns and callouses are composed, of course, contain no nerves or blood vessels. In fact, the upper lajers are practically dead. In the case of a corn, it is not the top that causes such pain. It is the little pointed part which extends down into the toe and presses on sensitive nerves. Cutting tho top off with a razor or burning it off with caustic liquids, pastes, and plasters is wasting time. Also, it is dangerous anil may cause blood poisoning or even tetanus (lockjaw). Instead of such purely temporary expedients, try soaking your feet in the “saltrated”' water, prepared bv dissolving a handful of Reudol Bath Saltratos in a gallon Of hot water. This will dissolve the oil and sebaceous matter from hardened, calloused, and “corny” skin, leaving it so soft that corns are easily picked out, root and all. As for callouses, they can be scraped right off with the dull edge of a knife. The water can have no effect whatever on sound, healthy skin. All chemists keep Reudel Bath Saltrates put tin in boxes of convenient r,ize and at very moderate price.—Advt.
