they were safely the victors. There

Calomel Dynamites .
A Sluggish Liver
Crashes into sour bile, making you
sick and you lose days work.

Calomel salivatesi It's mercury. Ca
lomel acts like dynamite on sluggish
liver. When calomel comes into con-
tact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel feel bilious, headachy,
constipated and all knocktd, out, just
go to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and rea
dy for work or play. It's harmless
pleasant and safe to give children
they like it.-Adv.
