TRY 1T! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts Your Liver Without Making
You Sick and Can Not Salivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug
gist and everybod's druggist has mott
ticed a great falling-of in the sale of
calomel. They all give the same rea-
son. Dodson's Lover Tone is taking
it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said a prominent local drug
.gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs so
cents, and if it fails to give easy re-
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night, and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipat-
ed bowels. 1t doesn't gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take a dose of
calomel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose a days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
of vigor and ambiton.-Adv.
