A TRIED AND PROVED GUARANTEE
Man Bought Bottle of DOdsOn's Liver
Tone, Then Took 1t Back. and
Asked for His Money and
Got 1t.

A man recently tried out the guar
antee which Howell-Prather Pharmacy
gives with every bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone. He bought bottle and
then went back to the drug store and
said the medicine hadn't helped him.
This druggist just reached into his
cash register and took out a half dol
lar, the price of the bottle of Liver
Tone, and handed it back to the gem
.tleman. But he didn't take the money.
He owned up that he was just trying
the guarantee and, as matter of
fact. he had found Dodson's Liver
Tone the best remedy for constipation
and billiousness he had ever tried.
why" he said, my wife wouldn't be
without bottle in the house for any,
thing It's the best thing in the
world for the whole family, and the
medicine that | prefer to take or 20
give to my children for lazy liver"
Howell-Prather Pharmacy sell Dod-
sons Liver Tone and guarantee it to
start the liver without violence. 1t is
'taking the place of calomel every
where. If you buy bottle and don't
ind this pleasant-tasting vegetable
liquid the best thing to start lazy
liver they will hand your money back

As Result of Freeze Il

Americas fruit dealers do not be-
lieve that prices, locally, on citrus
fruits will be affected, for the time at
least, by the general destruction of
the California citrus fruit crop Mon
day night, the result of a general
freeze there.
While quantities of California
oranges and lemons are sold in this

these two varieties, it is not believed
that prices upon other fruits will fol-
low the recent disaster.
