CALOMEL DYMAM|TES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
q days work.


Calemel saliyatesl It's mercury.
CaloRel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into 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 a so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, 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.
1t is harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.
