TIMELY Warming
TO CALOMEL USERS
Calomel is a Form Of Mercury and II
II Stays in the Human System
Its Effect Is Terrible. Ask
Your Doctor.

Any physician will tell you that
mercury, If it remains in the
body, will soften and rot the
bones, disease doctors call ne
crosis of the bones. Calomel is
form Of mercury, and to keep
clear Of danger it's a safe plan to
take no calome] at all, especially
as there is better remedy.
Both children and grown
people will find q perfect sub
stitute for calomel in Dodson' s
Liver Tone, a pleasant, vegetable
tonic that induces the liver to act
and which never has any bad
after affects. In fact Dodson 8
Liver Tone will do every thing
that calomel does without any OF
the dangers of calomel. A large
bottle costs only fifty cents, and
the Rexall Drug Store will re
fund your money if you are not
satisfied.
