DOCTORS FIND
REM EDY FOR
COLDS and FLU
cALoTABs, THE NEW NAUSEA
LESS CALoMEL, CUTS SHORT
COLDS AND PREVENTS FLU BY
KEEPING LIVER ACTIVE.

Physicians have learned from ex-
perience, during the epidemic of in
.fluenza, thar one of the most important
factors in the prevention of flu and
pneumonia is to keep the liver active
so that the digestive organs may be
in perfect working order and the sys-
tenn thereby enabled to throw off colds,
check sore throat. and resist serious
complications. For this purpose they
have found that the new, nausealess
calomel called Calotabs, is far more
effective even than the old style cal
omel, which was formerly the favorite
as .Calotabs do not weaken or sala-
yate the patient, nor interfere with
the appetite and digestion.
At the first sign of cold or sore
throat, doctors recommend one Gallo
tab at bed time with a swallow of
water,-that's all. No salts, no nausea,
nor the slightest interference with
your diet, pleasure or work. Next
morning you wake up feeling fine,
your liver is active, and your appe,
tite is keen for good breakfast. Fc.'
your protection Calotabs are sold on
ly in original sealed packages, price
thirty-five cents. All druggists recon-
mend and guarantee Calotabs. Re-
member your money back if you are
not glad you bought Calotabs.

among it's guests a number OF the
most famous moonshiners in Georgia,

Another famous noonshiner who is

would not cause the nausea and dis
