Starts your liver without max
ingy0u sick and can not
Salivate.

Every druggist in town--your
druggist and everybody's drug
gist has noticed a great fallign
off in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is taking it's
place.
"Calomel is dangerous and peo
pie know it, while Dodson's Ii
yer Tone is perfectly safe and
gives better results" siad a pro
minent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle cost
but few cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of
liver sluggishness and constipa-
tion, you have only to ask for
your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a plea
sant-tasting, purely vegetable
remedy, harmless to both chill
dren and adults. Take spoon
full at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipat
ed bowels. 1t dosen't grippe or
cause inconvenience all the next
day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and to-
morrow you will feel weak, sick
and nauseated. Don't lose a
days work! Take Dodson's Lii
yer Tone instead and feel fine,
full of vigor and ambition. Adv.

would not be a bad idea to give a
