Statistics show that many deaths have occurred from this seemingly innocent prac tice of paring corns. Simply (to to your druggist and get a few cents worth of Ice-Mint, rub a little on any painful corn or callus. Immediately the pain will disappear and in a short time the corn or callus will loosen and lift off easily with the fingers root and all leaving the sur rounding skin in a healthy, normal condition. This, together with the fact that Ice-Mint overcomes such affections as aore, tired, ach ing, puffed or burning feet and makes them cool, easy and comfortable, is probably responsible for the hearty endorsement given it by druggista. To rid tone's feet of every hard corn, soft corn, corn between the toes or painful cal luses in such a pleasant and safe way, makes it seem the heighth of folly for anyone to pare a corn, and people are warned to stop it.
