Freezone Corn and Callus Remedy Promises Painless Removal
A Cincinnati chemist’s discovery named Freezone is sold in small bottles at drug stores. Apply a drop or two to a corn or callus and the soreness vanishes. The corn loosens and lifts away with fingers, with no pain or irritation. It shrivels rather than eats away the lesion, working on hard, soft, and between-toe corns and bottom-foot calluses. If unavailable, ask your druggist to reserve a bottle from the wholesale house.
