Keep Your Liver Active, Your System Purified and Free From Colds by Taking Calotabs, the Nausealess Calomel Tablets, that are De-

 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 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 s all. No salts, no nausea, no griping, no sickening after effects. Next morning your cold has vanished, your liver is active, your system is Puri- fled 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.)
