FOOT ITCH

Athlete's Foot

According to the Govern-

ment Health Bulletin No. E-20, at least 80% of the

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 itching becomes intense, and you feel as though you would like to scratch off all the skin.

BEWARE OF IT SPREADING

Often the disense travels all over the bottom of the fert. The sales of your feet become red and swollen. The skin also cracks and

Peels, and the Itchian becomes worse and worse.

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 nl kinds of remedies to cure it without success. Ordinary germicides, anti- septies, salve or ointments seldom do any good.

HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT

The germ that causes the disease is known as Tinca Trichophy- ton. It buries 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 gorm; 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 issue of the skin where the germ breeds,

ITCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY

As soon as you apply H. F. you will and that the itching is immediately relieved. You should paint the infected parts with H. F. night and morning until your feet are well. Usually this talces from three to ten days, although in severe enser it may take longer 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 out of those who have tried for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without

success,
