WHY DOCTORS PRESCRIBE THE
 NEW CALONEL
Medicinal Virtues Retained and Im- .proved-Unpleasant and Salivating
 Qualities Removed-New Variety Called "Calotabs."

Of all the medicines in the world, doctors prescribe calomel most often and depend upon it most universally. There must be a good and sufficient reason-what is it?
 If you will study the doctors books you will find that the medical author ities prescribe calomel for almost ev- cry disease. The reason is that cals- mel is the greatest and only thoro system purifier. It makes the liver active, drives out the poisons from the stomach, bowels and kidneys ard thereby purifes the blood Calomal puts the entire system in the most favorable condition for Nature to ex- ercise her recuperative power That is why he prescribes calomel so often.
 The new kind of calomel, called "Calotabs," is refined and purified from all of the nauseating and dan gerous qualities of the old style ealo- mel and is rapidly taking it's place, for it is more effective than the old style calomel as a hver-cleanser and system purifier. One Calotab at bed time, with a swallow of water-that's all No salts, no nausea, nor the slightest unpleasantness. Next morn ing you awake feeling fine-with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please. No restrictions of habit or diet
 Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages, price thirty-five cents. Recommended and guaranteed by druggists everywhere. Your money back if you arc net delighted. Adv.
