diers is that Germany cannot win a
decisive victory They believe that
Germany will endeavor to hold on in

WHY DO ALL DOCTORS

i Of all the medicines in the world
doctors prescribe calomel most otter

There must be a good and sufficient
creason-what is it, !,
4 If you will study thu doctors book
you will find that the medical au-
thoxities prescribe calon1sl for al
most every disease. The reason is
that calomel is the greatest and only
thorough system-puri6er. It makes
the liver active, drives out the pois-
ons from the stomach, bowels and kid
neys and thereby purifes the blood.
Calomsl puts the entire system In the
favorable condition fer Nature
to exercise her r-@anerattye power.
Your doctor will tell 20. q o, .vbv
merely assist Nature. That Is
he prescribes calomel so often.
The new kind Of calomel, called
''Calotabs," is refined and purified
from all Of the ~hauseating a INDIAN
gerous qualities of the old style Gallo
HeJ and is rapidly taking It's place, for
It is more effective than the old style
.alomel as a liver cleanser and sys-
tem-purifer. One Calotab at bed
