Starts your liver without making

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone

"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone

glst. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-

costs but few cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, YOU

back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
