DON'T TAKE
WRONG MEDICINE

If your liver gets lazy you need a
liver tonic, not merely a laxhtive for
the bowels. Many people take SIM
pie laxative when the liver gets slug
gish ratqer than take calomel, which
they know to be dangerous. But a
mere laxative will not start sluggish
liver. What is needed is a tonic that
will liven up the liver without forcing
you to stay at home and lose day
from your work.
You have such a tonic in Dodson's
Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver Tone is
all that is claimed for it, because the
druggists who sell it agree to hand back
| the money with smile, to any person
! not satisfied with the relief Dodson's
gives.
Dodson's Liver Tone is vegetable
liquid with very pleasant taste and is
a prompt and reliable remedy for con-
stipation, biliousness, sour stomach and
torpid liver.
i The Corner Drug Store and Second
Class Drug Store give it their personal
guarantee. Large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone is only so cents. For chill
dren or grown people it is the ide Al
medicine. Try it on the guarantee.

Gard From Judge Teat.

To the People of the Fifth Judicial
District:
deeply appreciate the confidence of
those who in the recent primaries have
approved of the judicial standard for
which have stood.
have at all times been true to the
great State of Mississippi and haye en-
deavored to perform my full duty as
saw it.
The Bilbo trial was made pretext
for himself and his political partisan
office seekers to wage against me one
of the foulest campaigns of slander and
abuse.
The State of Mississippi had right
to demand that or any other circuit
Judge in this State should try this case,
at whatever political sacrifice might
follow it. have no rsgret that this or
any other duty came to me, since rem
| dered to my state my best services at a
time when it was needed, and IN doing
so retained an approving conscience and
my official integrity.
| trust that my canvass has main
| tanned the true standard of clean poll
tics and has not transgressed the ethics
of Judicial aspirations.
rhave received many expressions OF
approval of my candidacy, which
deeply appreciate. acknowledge many
courtesies and acts of kindness with
profound appreciation. The remainder
of my term will be characterized by the
same vigor and zeal as in the past.
(, am unshaken IN my opinion that
politics should not dominate the judi
ciary, nor the bench become subservi-
ant to any political faction.
Accepting the results of the election
| without the bitterness of defeat, l shall
in due course turn my attention to the
fascinating fields of professional duty.
Very truly.
