HOW TO TAKE CORNS OUT SO THEY NEVER COME BACK.

"You simply nso saltrat-cd water, which does the trick for us soldiers every time, and alao euros bullions, aching, tenderness, blisters, chilblains, or wen rheumatic and gouty pains," says Sergeant C, S. Turner, H.A.ILO.

Cutting 1 the top of a corn off with a razor or burning it off with caustic lotions, plasters, etc., doesn't do any good. Tho root just sprouts right up again, and soon your corn .has a hrand-aew top on it, bigger than ever. The top is only dead skin anyway. Tho business end of a corn is tho littlo pointed part, or core, that extends dcrwn into the toe. That is what hurts when it presses on sensitive nerves, and it is tho part you have to get out. Cutting the top off an aching- tooth wouldn't stop the ache. Sajne way with a corn. Don't worry about tho top. Get the root out permanently by using a good big liandful of Eeudol Bath Saltrates (you can got a halfpound at si.gilt cost from any chemist) dissolved in a gallon or sc of hot water. Just soak your feet in this for 15 or 30 minutes, then tako hold of tho oorn witli your fingers, and ox'j she'll come, root and. all, liko the hull comes out of a strawberry. Only a little hole or depression is left in the toe, and that soon closes, so thero is nothing Inf.*. in thero to sprout a new corn asrain. It doesn't affect the surrounding fler.h at all, but soon softens the whole of the corn. No burning or soreness, no pain, no danger, 1:0 trouble, and no days of waiting to nee whether that old corn is going to leave for good or 00m© back to stay with you a whilo longer. Soften callouses the sajno way, then scrape off. and I don't dare tell you how quick this medicated water, mad© with Reudel Bath Snltrates, will always drive aohes, chafes, blisters, etc., away and even care rheumatic or gouty pain.l It would sound too good to bo trae, but thousands of soldiers <xvn tell what wonderful staff aaltrated water is. as.x,
