CALOMEL A GREAT
DANGER TO MANY
Has Bad Effect on Some-Dodson's Liver
Tone Takes Its Place and is Per-
fectly Harmless.

If you will inquire at B. L. Brow.
der's you will find that Dodson's
Liver Tone is guaranteed to be safe,
reliable remedy to take the place Of
calomel and harmless liver stimulant
having no bad fter-effects. Indeed,
this firm will refund purchase price
(50c) without question if you are in
any way dissatisfied with this vege-
table liquid.
1t is very unwise to take calomel,
even dangerous, as many people suf-
fer from the poison afterwards, even
though they may appear at first to be
temporarily relieved. On the ether
hand, Dodson's Liver Tone works easily
and naturally (really assisting nature)
with no pain nor grippe and correcting
all bilious conditions and ills of con-
stipation, clearing away the sick
headache and the coated tongue,
frightening up the dulled brain and
strengthening the weakened body at
the same time that it removes collect
ed waste from the overburdened sys-
tenn.
Those who have tried Dodson's
Liver Tone have found that it made
them healthier and happier. A test
may prove of great benefit to you
right now. adv
