FIX UP YOUR LIVER
AND FEEL GOOD.

Why-Rlsk Beng All Knocked
Out" by CalomelY Dodson's
Liver Tone Takes its Place
and is Safe.
When you are constipated and
your liver is sluggish it is ne
longer necessary to try to fix
yourself up with calomel, which
everyone now knows to be a
poison that sometimes remains in
the system and causes evil after
offects-and is often very danger
GUS to many people.
DodsoH's Liver Tone is guar
anteed to take the place of cal
cmel, to be pleasant-tasting,
easy-acting vegetable liquid, with
no bad effects and causing no
pain nor grippe nor interference
with your regular duties. habits
or diet. If you are not entirely
satisfied with Dodson's Liver
Tone, 60 back to the store where
you bought it and get your mon
ev back. 1t belongs to you and
Dodson wants you to have it.
John r. Taylor & Bro. sells and
recommend Dodson's Liver Tone
and they will cheerfully refund
purchase price (50c.) instantly
without question If the remedy
fails to please you in every way.
It's use has proved beneficial to
many thousands and probably
will to you.
