FOOT ITCH
Athlete's Foot
According to the Govern- ment Health Bulletin No. E-28, at least 50% of the
40. Johnston Road, Hong Kong.
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 itehing begumes intense, and you feel a though you would like to Beratel off all the skin.
BEWARE OF IT SPREADING
Often the disease travels all over the bottom of the feat. The soles of your feet become red and swollen. The' akin also cracks and peels, and the itching becomes worse 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 ginds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germicidica, anti- septics, salve or ointments seldom do any good.
.
HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT
The germ that causes the disease is known as Tinea Trichophy; ton. It burier itself deep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard" to kill. A test male 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 where. the germ breeds.
ITCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY
As soon as you apply H. F. you will find that the itching is immediately relieved. You should paint the infected parts with B. 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 time.
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 triod for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without
success.
