Athlete's Foot

According to the Govern

ment Health Bulletin No.

E28, at least 50% of the

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

fanally 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 of all the skin.

BEWARE OF IT SPREADING

Often the disease travols all over the bottom of the feet. The soles of your feet become red and swollen. The skin 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 kinds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germickles, anti- xoption, salve or ointinents seldom do any good.

HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT

The germ that causes the disease is known as Tinea Trichophy ton. It buries itself lep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard to kill. "A test made shows it takes 15 minutes of boiling to kill the so you can see why ordinary remedies are unsuccessful. H. F. was developed solely for the purpose of creating 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.
