CALOMEL. So

Doctors have found by. experience
that no medicine for colds and in
fiuenza can be depended upon for full
effectiveness until the liver is made
thoroughly active. That is why the
frsts tep in the treatment is the new
nausealess Calomel called Calotabs,
which is free from the sickening,
weakening, and salayating effects of
ihe old style calomel Doctors also
point cut the fact that an active liver
goes a long way towards preventing
influenza and is one # he most i'm
portant factors in enabling the pa
tient to successfully withstand an at
tack and ward off pneumonia
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time, with a swallow of water.-that's
all. No nausea, no salts, nor the
slightest interference with your eat
nag, pleasure or work Next morning
your liver is active, your system is
purified, and you are feeling fine, with
hearty appetite for breakfast.
Druggists sell Calotabs only in orr
ginal sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your money will be cheer
fully refunded if you do not find
them delightful. -(Adv).
