OF all the medicines in the world
doctors prescribe calomcl 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 authori-
ties prescribe calomel for almost ev-
cry disease. The reason is that calo-
mel is the greatest and only thorough
systcm-purifer. 1t makes the liver
active. drives out the poisons from
the stomach, bowels and kidneys and
thereby purifics the blood Calomcl
puts the entire system in the most
favorable condition for Nature to en-
crcSc her rccuperativc power. That is
why he prcScribcS calOmcl so Oftc
The new kind Of calomcl, called
"CalOlabs,' is refined and purified
from all OF the nauScating and dan
gcrOuS qualities Of the old style Gallo
mel and is rapidly taking its place, for
ii is more effective than the old style
