resort to violent calomel. which is
dangerous. salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumuIates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman. sick or

Limestone phosphate does not re.

can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless. and
