DON'T TAKE THE
WRONG MEDICINE

If your liver gets lazy you need
a liver tonic, not merely a laxative
for the bowels. Many people take
a simple laxative when the liver
gets sluggish rather than take cal
omel, which they know to be dan
gerous. But a mere laxative will
not start a sluggish liver. What is
needed IS a tonic that will liyen up
the liver without forcing you to
stay at home and lose a day from
your work.
You have such a tonic in bod
sons Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver
Tone is all that is claimed for it,
because the druggist who sell it
agree to hand back the money
with a smile, to any person not
satisfied with the relief Dodson's
gives.
Dodson's Liver Tone is vege-
table liquid with a very pleasant
taste and is prompt and reliable
remedy for constipation, bilious
ness, sour stomach and torpid liv-
er.
The Newark Drug Co. gives it
their personal guarantee. Large
