FOOT ITCH
Athlete's Foot
According to the Govern ment Health Bailetin No. E-28, at least 50%, of the
adult population of the United States are being attacked by the disease known as Athlete's Foot.
Usually the disease starts between the toes. Little watery blisters form, and the skin cracks and peels. After a while, the itching becomes intense, and you feel as though you would like to scratch off all the skin.
!
BEWARE OF IT SPREADING.
Often the disease travels all over the bottom of the feet. The soles of your feet become red and swollen. The skin also cricks" and pools, and the itching becomes woree and worse.
Get rid of this disease as quickly as possible, because it is very contagious and it may go to your hands or even to the under : arm or crotch of the legs.
Most people who have Athlete's Foot have tried all kinds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germinicles, anti- seplica, sulve or ointinenta seldom do any good.
HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT
The gorm that causes the disease is known as Tines Trichophy ton. It baries itself deap in the tissues of the skin and is very hard to kill. A test made shows it takes 18 minutes of boiling to kill the germ; so you can see why ordinary remedies are unsuccessful. H. F. was developed solely for the purpose of treating Athlete's Foot it is a liquid that penetrates and dries quickly. You just paint the affected parts. It peels off the tissue of the skin whero the germ breeds.
ITCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY
As soon as you apply H. F. you will and that the itching is immediately relieved. You should paint, the infected parts with H. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this takes from three to ten days, although in severe cases it may take Jonger or in mild cases less thane.
H. F. will leave the skin soft and smooth. You will marvel at the quick way it brings you relief, especially if you are one of those who have tried for years to get rid of athlete's Foot without Sucоces...
