WHY NOT GET
A GUARANTEE?
Every Article of Merit That Is
Sold These Days Is Guaranteed
Mo Guarantee Often
Means Poor Quality.

There is very little excuse for
any person to claim that he has
been 'stung" on a purchase. Fifty
years ago the buyer had to look
out, but to-day it is unusual to
find a merchant who will not re-
turn the money for any article
that has proved unsatisfactory.
An excellent example of this
kind of fair dealing is shown by
the clean-cut guarantee that all
druggists give on Dodson's Liver
Tone.
These people tell us that any
person who pays soc for a bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone and does
not find it gentle and most
pleasant liver tonic, harmless, but
a sure reliever of constipation
and a perfect substitute for cal
omel can get his money back just
as quick as they can get it out of
the money drawer.
DOdson's Liver Tone has praC-
tically taken the place of calomel.
It is absolutely harmless, sure in
its action and causes no restriC-
ton of habit or diet. No wonder
the drug people are glad to guar
antee il, while other remedies that
initiate the claims of Dodsou's
Liver Tone are not guaranteed
at all
