Walter Wilson, Manager Why do folks keep Corns? Why do you? Why do you merely pare them, or doctor them in old- time, ineffective ways? Blue-jay ends corns—takes them out completely. Does it without pain or soreness. Does it to a million corns a month. Why don't you employ it? Blue-jay contains a little drop of wax. When you apply it the pain is Mopped for good. Then the wax gently loosens the corn. In 48 hours you can lift the corn out, and that ends the corn forever. New corns may come, but that old corn will never trouble further. The Blue-jay way is simple, easy, fainless. It Is modern, scientific, t is so effective that It now is used on about half the corns in the country. Paring merely eases corns. Other' treatments palliate. Blue-jay takes the whole corn out, root, branch and everything. It costs but 15 cents . to prove this, and never after will you suffer from a corn.
