BETTER MEDICINE

Dodson's Liver Tone, a Safe Neget'

Place of Calomel, the
Powerful Mineral

Many people know the danger Of
calomel, yet they take it, because
they know of nothing better. Other
PEOPLE are not afraid of calomel be-
cause they do not understand what
a dangerous drug it is.
Nobody needs to take dangerous
calomel (Which is made from mer-
cury) if they live near store
where Dodson's Liver Tone is sold,
Curlin's Two Drug Stores sell
Dodson's Liver-Tone, and guaran-
tee it is to be a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is pleasant tasting
vegetable tonic, that livens up the
liver without causing any restric-
ton of habit or diet. 1t has none of
OF fine bad after-effects of calomei
