It's a liquid-a wonderful painless formula--it has never been successfully initiated. It settles on the corn. and dries imme- diately. Instead of digging out the corn, you peel it out painlessly. There's no sticky plaster that doesn't stay put, no salve that irritates or rubs off. You reach the corn easily with the little glass rod in the cork of every "Gets-It' bottle. It does not hurt the true flesh. Try it, trot and smile, It's a blessing; never fails.
