EVER SALIVATED BY
 CkLOMEL? HORRIBLE!
CaIomel is quicksilver and acts like

Calomel loses you a day. You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quick silver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into your bile lige dynamite cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, con stipated and all knocked out and be- lieve you need a dose of dangerous cslomel just remember that your drug gist sells for 50 cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entire ly vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver with out stirring you up inside, and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel, IL makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight ems you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and desn't gripe.- Advertisement.
