HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND GRIPPE

Ask any Physician or druggist
and he will tell you that the best
and only effective remedy for a
bad cold, sore throat, influenza
or la grippe is whai he calls "a
brisk calomel purge" which
means a big dose of calomel at
bedtime. But as the old style
calomel has some very unpleasant
and dangerous qualities physic-
ians and druggists are now recon-
mending the improved nausealess
calomel, called "Calotabs" which
is purified and refined from the
sickening and dangerous effects
and whose medical virtues are
vastly improved.
One Calotab on the tongue at
bed time with swallow of
water, that's all. No salts, no
nausea nor the slightest interfer-
ence with your eating. pleasures
or work. Next morning your
cold has vanished and your entire
system is purified and refreshed.
Calotabs are sold only in orig
inal sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Recommended and
guaranteed by druggists every
where. Price refunded if you
are not delighted. adv.
