DOCTORS SAY CALOTABS
ARE BEST FOR FLU
Influenza and Grippe, Like Ordinary
Colds, Require CalOtabsS the Per
fected CalOmeI That is Free From
Nausea and Danger of Salvation.

Physicians and druggists claim that
the great epidemic of influenza has
conclusively demonstrated that the
preventive of influenza and pneumonia
is to keep the liver active so that the
digestive organs may be in perfected
condition. For this purpose Calotabs,
the new nausealess calomel that is
freed from the sickening and salivat-
ing effects, is the most thorough and
dependable, as we'll as the most agree
able laxative.
Calotabs have the special advan-
tagc of not making the patient sick
and weak, as they arc free from the
~nauseating and gripping qualities and
do not upset the digestion and appe-
tite, One Calotab at bed time with a
swallow of water-that's all. No
salts, no nausea, nor the slightest in
reference with your eating, pleasure,
or work. Next morning your cold has
vanished, your liver is active, and you
arc feeling fine with a hearty appetite
for breakfast.
For your protection, Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages,
price t~hirty-fve cents. Sold by all
druggists and your money back if you
are not glad you got them. Adv.
