ACCORDING to the Government Health Bulletin Ma

Ofton the disease travels all over the bottom of the foot. The soles of your fect become red and swollen. The skin also cracks and pools, and the itching becomes worso and worse.
It has been said that this disonso originated in tho trenches, so some people call it Tranch Foot. Whatever name you give it, however, the thing to do is to get rid of it as quickly as possible, bocause it is very contagious and it may go to your hands or oven to the under arm or crotch of logs.
Most people who have Athlete's Foot have tried all Ordinary kinds of remedies to curo it without success. germicides, antisoptics, or ointments seldom do any good. The garm that causes the disease is known as Tinca Trichophyton. It burios itself doep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard to kill.

As soon as you apply H. F. you will find that the itching is immediately relieved. You should paint tho infected parts with H. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this takes from throa to ten days, although in severe cases it may take longer or in mild cares 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 havo tried for years to got rid of Athleto's Foot without success.
