WHEN OUT OF SORTS
START YOUR LIVER
WORKING.
MO MATTER What Ais YOU DONSON'S
LIVER TONE Is USUALLY A Big
HELP In GETTING WELL.
AVOID CALOMEL.

Nine times out of ten, when you
are i'll or out of sorts, your liver is
out of order and getting it in order
again will make you feel better.
When your liver is sluggish and
torpid and you are constipated and
bilious, it is impossible to feel we'll.
There was a time when great
number of people took calomel
when so troubled. But this is not
true today. 1t has become widely
known that calomel often has bad
after effects and is even dangerous
to many. The use of Dodson's Liv-
.er Tone instead of calomel has
spread wonderfully because it has
proved so beneficial in so many
households.
The Sylvia Pharmacy and Hoop
er's Drug Store recommend and
recommend and guarantee Dodsons
Liver Tone instead of calomel and
guarantee to refund purchase price
(5Oc) to you instantly without ones
ton if you are not perfectly pleased
with the way in which it relieves
you from constipation. sick head
ache, biliousness, etc. 1t "livens
the liver" and is a pleasant tasting,
vegetable liquid, easy to take and
causes no pain, no grippe. no bad re-
suits, no change from your regular
duties and habits.
To test Dodson's Liver Tone is a
sensible matter because you get
your money back if you are not
satisfied.
