IVY LEAF CORN CURE.

A REMARKABLE PREPARATION,

EXCELLENT RESULTS OBTAINED.

Gorns or bunions do not trouble everybody, but to those who do suffer Mr P. Brennan, bootmaker, of Wharf Street, Paeroa, has something to say that will interest them. As far back as 1888 he made a salve from a recipe he had otbained in England from a Gypsy. It is an old remedy brought into tire market, not for the gain that is attached to it, but chiefly to relieve sufferers. Many yeans back Mr Brennan when a resident in Australia made some of this salve and distributed it among sufferers, and it is due to their solicitations that he is prepared to offer it for sale. Some months ago he treated several local residents, who have testified to its value. Mr Brennan is an efficient chiropodist, and is prepared to treat and attend to sufferers personally if desired. Bunions and corns are the result of wearing tight boots or shoes, or the friction of a loose shoe on a tender part of the foot causing a hardening of the epidermis. This hardening of the isk.-n goes on until a conn is formed. and roots grow, and these press upon the delicate nerve tissue beneath and cause untold misery when walking. Various remedies are prepared and sold to the public for the .relief of sufferers, but in many cases they are worse than useless, as they fail to effect a permanent cure and often destroy the tissue surrounding the corn or bunion. Brennan's corn salve possesses nothing of an injurious nature, Being composed entirely of herbs, and w-ill destroy the hard tissue that goes to form the corn ; and if the directions which accompany the preparation are carefully carried-out a complete cure is bound to be effected. The directions' 1 are simplicity itself. First bathe the feet in hot soapy water for ten or fifteen minutes night and morning ; then scrape away as much of the corn as possible and apply the salve, binding up the affected part so that the salve will not be rubbed off. The cost is one shilling a box. To those who like some proof, the following arc copies of original testimonials received by Mr Brennan, the originals being open for inspection at his shop, in Wharf Street'. — “Your corn cure, which 1 have obtained several tins of from you, has been a complete success, f can confidently recommend to all sufferers from corns that it is a very successful cure.
