BEST PREVENTIVE FOR
INFLUENZA is ACTIVE LIVER
Calotabs, the Nausealess Calomel
That Is Free From Danger of
Salvation, Is the Ideal Laxa-
tive for Colds and Flu.

Keep your liver active, your sys-
tenn purified and your digestive or
gans in perfect working order. That
is the advice of physicians as to how
to avoid influenza and serious COM
plications. At the first sign of a
cold or sore throat, take Calotab,
the perfected calomel that is free
from the nausoating and salivating
qualities of the old style calomel, and
whose medicinal properties are vast
ly improved.
One Calotab at bed time with a
swallow of water-that's all. No
salts, no nausea, nor the slightest in
reference with your eating, pleasure,
cor work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active,
system is purified and you are feeling
fine, with a hearty appetite for
breakfast. Calotabs are sold only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your druggist recon-
mends and guarantees Calotabs by
offering to refund the price if you
are not delighted with them (adv.)
