FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elated
over the fact that they have at last
found a genuine and dependable rem
edy for colds, sore throat, influenza,
and la grippe. For years they have
depended chiefly upon the old style
calomel, which is certainly fine, but
unfortunately many people would
not take it because of its nauseating
and dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected nausealess cal
omel, called "Calotabs" whose medi-
cinal virtues are vastly improved,
the doctors and druggists are claim
ing that Calotabs are the ideal rem
edy to abort a cold over night and
cut short an attack of sore throat or
la grippe. They, are also finding it
most effective as the first step in the
treatment of pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water,-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing or your work and pleasure. The
next morning your cold has vanished
and your whole system is purified
and refreshed. Calotabs are sold only
in original sealed packages; price
thirty-fve cents. Your druggist re-
commends and guarantees them by
refunding the price if you are not
delighted.-adv.
