THE NEW WAY

Quick and San
A famous chemist, some- years
ago, discovered a way to end corns.
A surgical dressing house of
world-wide repute adopted and pro
duced it. ( t
Millions of people use this in
stant relief and quickly rid them
selves of throbbing corns.
The method is Blue-jay liquid
or plaster. One applies it by a
touch. The pain stops instantly, and
the whole corn quickly loosens and
comes out.
Old, harsh methods are supplanted
by it. So with corn pads, so with
paring. All such ways are folly.
Try Bine-jay on one corn now
and see. You will be delighted.
