Don't Take Calomel Here's A
Better Remedy.

Taking Calomel is mighty
risky and often times danger
Gus.
You ought to get along with
out taking calomel yourself or
giving it to your family, when
you can get Il remedy that takes
its place. Dodson's Liver Tone
is an agreeable vegetable liquid
that starts the liver to action
Just as surely as caiomel does.
But, unlike calomel, Dodson' 5
Liver Tone does not stimulate
the liver too much. 1t gives re.
lief gently. Calomel acts so
strongly that it may leave you
worse than you were at first,
aud calomel also sometimes
causes salvation. Dodson's
Liver Tone works well and
never harms.
A large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone is sold for fifty cents

1t always has given such per.
feet satisfaction that your

you with n smile if you BUY a
bottle and are not perfectly
satisfied with it in every way.

Democrat, hates Mr. Bryan the

aud is angry with President
Wilson because he cannot
secure appointment for anyone
in Nebraska without the APP
prevail of Mr.. Bryan. 1t is be-
lievcd, however, that the peo-
pie of Missouri aud Nebraska
will relegate Reed and Hitch
