CALONlEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER.
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making
You Sick and You Lose

Calomel salivates. It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug

contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy. con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoon
full and if it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full Of
ambition and ready for work or
play. It's harmless. pleasant and
