ITCH

Athlete's Foot

According to the Govern- ment Health Bulletin No. E-20, at least 50% of the

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

Usually the discase starts between the toes. Litüe walery bilsters 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 sidin.

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 skin also cracks and peels, and the itching becomes worse and worse.

Get rid of this disease in 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 havo Athlete's Foot have tried all kinds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germicides, anti- septics, salve or ointments acldom do any good."

HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT

The germ that causes the disease is known as Tinea Trichophy- ton. It burles Itself deep 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 germ; so you can see why ordinary remedies are unsuccessful. 11. 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.

TTCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY

As soon as you apply H. F. you will find that the itching is immediately relieved. You should paint the infected purtz with II. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this takes from three to ten days, although in severe cases it may take longer or in mild casos less ilme,

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 Athleto's Foot without
