Your druggist has a new way—the scientific Blue-jay. It is so efficient, so easy, so painless that it now removes a million corns a month. The way is this: Apply Blu«« Jajr at night- it takes only a moment. From that time on the corn will cease to pain. Forget the corn for two days, then simply lift it out. Blue-jay loosens the corn. In 48 hours you can remove it without any pain or soreness. Folks have proved that, up to date, on sixty million corns. Stop paring corns. Stop the old- time treatnieuts. Knd your corns forever in this simple, easy way. Try it on one corn.
