relief it gives the corn pains! You

how that corn or callus will come
right off complete, like a banana peel
and without the least pain, is lust
wonderful. 'Gets-It is the biggest
seller among corn removers in the
world to-day, simply because it is so
Wonderfully simple and always works.
Be sure you get 'Gets-It.'"
"Gets-It," the guaranteed money!

tically extinguished by bucket bri-
gade before the fire company reach

was extinguished by the use of chem
icals before much damage had been
done.
