ACTS ON THE LIVER
Dodson's Liver Tone Livens Up the
Liver-ls More Than a
Mere Laxative

Calomel was for years the only
known medicine that would stimulate
the liver. But calomel is often dan
gerous, and people are not to be
blamed for being afraid of it.
Within the last few years many
medicines have been put out to be
used instead of calomel, but their
effect is on the bowels-not on the
liver. Hesterly Drug Store says tht
the only real liver medicine to ac-
tually take the place of calomel is
Dodson's Liver Tone, mild, harmless
vegetable liquid that Hesterly Drug
Store recommend to take the place of
calomel and which gives prompt re-
lief in cases of constipation, bilious
ness and sluggish liver.
SO confident are Hesterly Drug
Store that they give their personal
guarantee with every 50-cent bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone. You can be
sure that you are getting Dodson's
by asking at this store if they are
giving you the medicine they person
ally guarantee to refund money on if
unsatisfactory. Advt.
