for His Money and Got Il.

A man recently tried out the guar
antee, which DR. w V Brockington
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 half dol
lar, the price of the bottle of Liver
Tone and handed it back to the gen.
tleman. But he didn't take the mon
ey. He owned up that he was just
trying the guarantee, and as mat
ter of fact, he had found Dodson's
Liver Tone the best remedy for con.
stipation and biliousness he had ever
tried. Why" he said, my wife
wouldn't be without a bottle in the
house for anything. It's the. best
thing in the world for the whole
family, and the medicine that pre-
fer TO take or to give to my children
for a lazy liver"
DR. Wv Brockington sells Dod-
sons Liver Tone and guarantees it
to start the liver without violence.
1t is taking the place of calomel ev-
erywhere. If you buy bottle and
don't find this pleasant-tasting vege-
table liquid the best thing to start
lazy liver, he will hand your money
back with q smile. adv.
