YOUR BODY
Protest. Against C.lomel

Protests Against Calomel
You have noticed the disasreeable
effects of calomel, that sickening nau-
sea that is characteristic. There is
no reason for tearing up your system
in such q drastic manner.
LIV-VER-LAX, that wonderful
vegetable compound, is just as useful
as calomel for toning up your liver
and ridding your system of stagnat-
ing poisons, and it does not make you
feel badly like calomel. 1t is pleas
ant to take with no unpleasant after
effects, Keep it in your home for
health's sake.
If LIV-VER-LAX is not entirely
satisfactory, your money will be re-
turned without question. The origi-
nal bears the likeness of L. X. Grigs-
ty. For sale at SOC and 81 by any
