FOOT ITCH

Athlete's Foot

According to the Govern- ment Health Bulletin No. E-98, at least 50%, of the

adult population of the United States are being attacked by the disenso known as Athlete's Foot.

Usually the discaso starts between the tocs. 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 The skin also cracks soles of your feet become red and swollen

and peels, and the itching becomes worse anil wore.

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 arui or crotch of the

lega.

Most people who have Athlete's Foot have tried all kinds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germicides, anti- septics, salve or ointinents seldom do any good

HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT

The germ that causes the disease is known as Tinen Trichophy; tou. It buries itself deep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard. to kill. A test inade shows it takes 15 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 brews.

ITCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY

As soon as you apply H. F. you will find that the itching is immediately ralioved You should paint the infected parts with B. F. night and morning until your feet are wall. Usually this takes from three to ten days, although in severe cases it may take longer or in mild casos 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 tried for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without

The fastest fighter: aéroplane yet in service in any air force in the world was recently removed from the Air Ministry's · semi- secret list and presented Itself to the world in anomalous circum- stances.

This aeroplane, the Hawker Hurricane, has made itself famous by covering the 327 miles from Edinburgh to Northolt at a speed of 408 miles an hour, but as it was helped on that trip by a strong tail-wind no sound deduction as to its top speed could be made, anya · the Times.
