GET READY
FOR FLU"
Keep Your Liver Active, Your
System Purified and Free From
Colds by Taking Cslotabs,
the Nausealess Calomel
Tablets, that are De-
lghtful, Safe and
Sure.

Physicians and Druggists are advis-
ing their friends to keep their systems
purified and their organs in perfect
working order as protection against
the return of influenza. They know
that a clogged up system and lazy
liver favor colds, influenza and serious
complications.
To cut short a cold overnight and to
prevent serious complications take one
Calotab at bedtime with a swallow OF
water-that's all. No salts, no nausea,
no gripping, no sickening after effects.
Next morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system is puri-
fed and refreshed and you are feeling
fine with hearty appetite for break
fast. Eat what you please-no danger.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-fve cents.
Every druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not perfectly
delighted with Calotabs.-(Adv.)
