aged, gaunt, helpless, husband of the
mysterious woman who was known as

TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-your drug,
gist and eyerybody's druggist has noticed
great faIling-otf in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results" said
prominent local druggist Dodson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs so cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant-tast-
ing, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children and adults. Take
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels It
doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you viii feel weak, sick and nauseated
Don't lose days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full Of
vigor and ambition.
