 This drug is sticky but dries at once and is said to simply shrivel
 up the corn without inflaning or even irritating the surrounding tissue. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce obtained at any drug store will cost a very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet. Cut this out. especially ifsyou are a woman reader who wears high heels.
