EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HOERIBLEi
Calomel is quicksilver and acts like
dynamite on your liver


Calomel loses you a dayl You
know what calomel is. It is mer-
curry; quicksilver. Galomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ing you. Galomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
When you feel bilious, Sluggish,
Gonstipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of danger
Gus calomel just remember that
your druggist sells for SO cents a
bottle OF Dodson's Liver Tone,
which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is a perfect
substitute for ealomel. 1t is
guaranteed to start your liver with
out stirring you up inside, and can
not salivate.
Don't take calomeli 1t makes
you sick tae next day; it loses you
a days work. Dodson's Live Tone
st%raightens you right up and you
feel great. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
