LOCAL DRUGGIST.
 MAKES STATEMENT
Says Dods0n's Liver Tone is the Best Remedy for Constipation and Shirk-
 ing Liver he has Ever Sold.

Every person who has tried Dodson's Liver Tone and knows how surely and gently it starts the liver to working and relieves billousness will bear out the Hes terly Drug Store in this state ment about Dodson's Liver Tone.
 It is apurely a vegetable liquid, that entirely takes the place of calomel, harmless and pleasant to the taste, that has proven itself the most satisfactory rem edy for a slow working liver that most of our customers have ever tried. A large bottle sells. for fifty cents and we do not hesitate to give the money back to any person who tries bottle on the strength of this statement and is not satisfied with the result"
 In these days of doubtful med icines and dangerous drugs, a statement like the above is a pleasant assurance that Dodson s Liver Tone is reliable remedy for both children and grown ups. In buying a bottle for immediate or future use it is well to make sure you are getting the genuine Dodson's Liver Tone and not some spurious imitation that has copied our claims, but do not stand back of their guarantee.
 You may be certain of getting the genuine if you go to Hester ly Drug Store for it. Advt.
