DOCTORS FIND
REMEDY FOR
COLDS AND FLU
Calotabs, the New Nausealess
Calomel Tablets, Gut Short
Colds and May Prevent Flu
by Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from ex-
perienee, during the epidemic Of in
fluenza, that IN of the most important
factors In the prevention of flu and
pneumonia is TO keep the liver active
so that the digestive organs may be In
perfect working order and the system
thereby enabled TO throw off colds,
check sore threats, and resist serious
complications. For this purpose they
have found hat the new n~ausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs. are far
more effective even than the old style
calomel, which was formerly the uni
yersal favorite, as Calotabs do not
weaken the patient, nor interfere with
the appetite and digestion.
At the first sign OF u cold or sore
throat, doctors recommend one CElo-
tab at bed time with q swallow OF
water--that's all. No salts, no nausea
nor the slightest interference with your
diet, pleasure, or work. Next morninr
you wake UP feeling fine, your liver
liz active, and your appetite Is keen for
a good breakfast.
For your protection Calotahs are sold
only In original sealed packages, price
thirty-five cents. All druggists recon.
mend and guarantee Calotabs, Your

with them. adv
