DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK
Dodson's Liver Tone Gets Four Square
Guarantee from B. [. providers
Drug Store.

When an article is sold by drug
gist who is willing to give it his per.
sonal guarantee. it's a mighty strong
proof of real merit.
That's exactly the case with Dod-
sons Liver Tone. 1t is a pleasant
tasting. vegetable remedy for a slow
and sluggish liver. Since Dodson's
Liver Tone came on the market the
sale of calomel has gone way down.
The reason is simply this; Dodson's
Liver Tone is safe and harmless and
guaranteed to be satisfactory-Calo-
mel is often uncertain. sometimes
dangerous, and no druggist wants to
guarantee that it won't knock you
out of a days work and maybe send
yon to bed.
Il. L. Browder sells Dodson's Liver
Tone and guarantees it. For you
and your children, it's good thing to
keep bottle always in the house.
b. l.. Browder will give you your
money back if you think Dodsoas
Liver Tone is not worth the price.
Keep YOUR liver working and your
liver will not keep you from working"
