DANGEROUS CAL0MEL
 GOING OUT OF USE
A Safer, More Reliable Remedy Has Taken Its Place in the Drug
 Store and in the Home.

A few years ago. men, women and children took calomel for a sluggish liver and for constipa- tion. They took risks when they did so, for calomel is dangerous drug. Your family doctor will be the first to tell you this if he discovers YOU dosing yourself with calomel.
 But the drug trade has found a safer, more pleasant remedy than calomel in Dodson's Liver Tone.
 Hesterly Drug Store tell us that their drug store sells Dod- sons Liver tone in practically ev- cry case of biliousness and liver trouble where calomel used to be taken.
 Dodson's Liver Tone is vege- table liver tonic that is absolute ly harmless for children and grown people. It els for 50 cts. a bottle and is guaranteed to be entirely satisfactory by Hesterly Drug Store, who will refund your  money with smile if it does not give quick, gentle relief without any of calomel's unpleasant after effects.
