EVER SALINATED BY
CAIONIEL? HORRIBIE,
CalOmcl is Quicksilver and acts like
dynamite on your liver.

Calomel loses you a day, You
know what Calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken-
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose Of danger
GUS calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for few cents
large bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone,
which Is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is a perfect
substitute for calomel. It is guaran-
teed to start your liver without
stirring you up inside, and can not
Ralivate.
Don't take calomcl! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you n
days work. Dodsons Liver Tone
straightens you right up and you
feel great. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
doesn't gripe.-adv.
