Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel canes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.

stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle OF
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just
20 back and get your money.
II you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while il
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.-Adv.

| CORN SYRUP GOOD

Says DR.. J. &. Evans of the
University of Wisconsin.

The false rumOr that eating corn

Corn syrup is splendid heat pro-

DR.. Evans.
at contains glucose, dextrose, sugar
and dextrine.
'eDextrine is the result of the partial
digestion of starch and is one step
in the change of food to glucose. The
body cannot use starch as food until
the digestion operates and changes it
to glucose. One half of cane or beet
sugar and part of meat must be
changed by the digestion into glucose
before it gives energy and heat to the
body. If it were not for this change
into glucose, we would die for lack of
power to produce enough heat and en-
ergy for work.
"The fullest experiments have shown
no difference in food value between
natures glucose and the commercial
glucose called corn syrup. 1t is a
fine substitute for sugar in canning y
