The Baby

JURY DECIDE ON LIFE

Doctors Operate At Once

New York, May 12.

Twelve men held a baby girl's life in the ba- Jance for 90 minutes to-day-and returned a ver- dict against death.

The baby, Helaine Colan, five-weeks-old daughter of a Chicago dentist, lies in hospital with a growth eating its way to her brain. . A jury of ten doctors and two rabbis was deputed to decide between allowing her to die or operating and possibly destroying her sight.

With the father waiting at the point of collapse, they chose to operate, and within an hour Helaine's left eye was removed in the hope of arresting the growth's progress.

No decision was announced as to the treatment for the right eye, which is believed to be infected, although if it is not operated upon it will probably undergo X-ray treatment,

Mothers the world over have been touched by the life-or- death urgency in the case of the helpless child, whose parents, torn between two overwhelming alternatives, could not agree on her fate.

FOOT 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 disease known as Athlete's Foot.

Usually the disease staris 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 ET SPREADING

Often the discono 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 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 lega.

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

HERE'S HOW TO TREAT IT

The germ that causes the disease is known on Tinea Trichophy- ton. It buries itself deep in the tissues of the skin and is very hard to kill. A test made shows it tokes 15 minutes of bulling to kill the germ; so you can see why ordinary remedies are unsuccessful. 1. F. was developed solely for the purpose of treating Athlete's Foot. It is n liquid that penetrates and dries quickly. You just paint the affected parts. It peels off the tissue of the skin where the germ breeds.

ITCHING STOPS IMMEDIATELY

As soon as you apply II. F. you will find 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. takes from three to ten days, although in severe cases it may take langer 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 one of those who have tried for years to get rid of Athlete's Foot without success.
