Dods0n's Liver-Tone Per-
feet Substitute.

Nearly every body who has ever
tried cal0mel for constipation or a
sluggish liver has found that it gives
only temporary relief. For cal
omel is such a powerful drug that it
shocks and weakens the liver and
makes it less able afterward to do
its duty than in the first place
This is one of the reasons why E.
7. Whitehead Cos. drug store would
rather sell Dodson's Liver-Tone to
you than calomel. We know that
Dodson's Liver-Tone is a pure vege-
table liver tonic that will cure con-
stipation quickly and gently without
any danger Of bad after-effects. We
guarantee it to do this with guar
antee that is simple and fair. If you
buy a bottle OF Dodson' Liver-Tone
for yourself or your children, and
if you do not find that it is Il perfect
substitute for calomel, then come
back to the store and get your mon
ey. If you don't get value for your
money out Of this tonic, it's your
right to expect your money back,
and We will gladly give it to you.
