CAL0MEL MAKES
 YOU SICK, U H!
"DcdsOn's Liver Tone" better than
 calOmel and can not Saliyate.

Calomel loses you day! You know what calomel is It's mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dyna- mite, cratrping and sicAaning you Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calonal. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up in side, and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children be- cause it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.
