Millions of mothors keep this harmless "fruit laxativo" handy; they know children love to tako it; that it never fails to clean tho liver nnd bowels and sweet en tho stomach, and thnt a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row. Ask at tho store for a GO-cont bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottlo. Adv. vi Better Still.

Instantly tho soreness disappears, then shortly you will find tho corn or callus so loose that you can lift it right off. Freezone is wonderful. It dries InBtnntly. It doesn't eat nway tho corn or cal lus, but shrivels It up with out even Irritating the sur rounding skin. Hard, soft or corns be tween tho toes, as well ns painful calluses, lift right off.
