CALOMEL SAL|VATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a slug
giSh liver and you lose
a DAYS work

There's no reason why person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
so cents buys large bottle of Dodson' s
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for CAL
Cmel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and
cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose a days work. Take
a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and you will wake up feeling
great. No more biliousness, constipa-
ton, sluggishness. headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your drug
gist says if you don't find Dodson' s
Liver Tone acts better than horrible
calomel your money is waiting for you.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 16.-The

bit of meteor, shown in the picture,
which fell on the farm of Henry Prantl,
in the middle west, and has baffled
scientists.
The object fell a month after the
death of Prantls son, Rudolph, and
created a sensation among the super
stitious persons.
The hand" shot from the sky with
a great white light. The object was
sizzling not and did not cool for hours.
Sever;,i scientists venture the opin-
:on it is part of a shooting star, but
the material is different from other
meteoric compositions seen in this part
of the world. 1t is light.
The object resembles a hand of a
