There's no reason why person

II Is a pleasant, vegetable liquid

Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone because it is

Calomel is dangerous drug. II
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nastv calomal today
and you will feel weak, sick and

will wake up feeling great. No more
