Dear Sir,—I bought a bottle of your GKNUIXE -1 Viridine some six months ago in Paris, which cured me, and as I am a principal dancer you know my feet are my living. The bottle I bought did the service you recommended it, but I bought another one afterwards which was forged and no good. As I want a bottle of GENUINE for a friend of mine, who is nearly mad with pain, will you please send me one direct. Mdlle. MARIE MULLER. From Mr. D. Anthony, Swansea. Dear Sir,- I myself have suffered with corns, and tried several of the certain cures which people boast they have, but they all failed in my case. I then got a bottle of your Viridine, and by applying some nightly to the corn I was surprised to find I could draw it clean up. 1 now enclose stamps for another bottle for a friend of mine.
