Why Take CaIomeI?
DR.. TEACHERS Liver & Blood Syrup
will do all that calomel will do and
without the latter effects"

Years ago, when people were bilious,
when the liver got lazy and failed to do
;ta work or the stomach was out of
condition, calomel was the standby.
d nv and by the users of calomel found
that the "after effects" of taking the
drug were as bad and more often worse
than the ailment for which it was
taken.
Or. Thatcher, in seeking medicine
10 take the place of calomel-one that
would do all the good that calomel
would do, and yet leave none of its evil
effects perfected DR.. TEACHERS Liver &
Rood Syrup. This was in 1852, and
each wear since has added to the conf
dence of those who have used it.
Miss Susie Brewer, of Chattanooga,
Tenn. tried calomel. She was suffer-
mo with a very serious cold and grippe
and had no appetite whatever. After
the calomel failed she tried DR.. Thach-
er's Liver & Blood Syrup. She felt
better after taking three doses and she
soon got entirely we'll. 81 think DR..
ThacRer's Liver and Blood Syrup is a
wonderful medicine" she said, land L
am very thankful | tried it,"
For nearly three quarters of a century
this sterling preparation has been an
'sold standby" in thousands OF homes
in treating rheumatism, dyspepsia, in
digestion and other stomach and liver
complaints. 1t is a powerful tonic and
blood purifier and can be used with
the utmost confidence.
