AGAINST CA[OAEL
Mr.. Dodson, the Liver Tone"
Man, Responsible for Change
for the Better.

Every druggist in town has noticed q
great falling off in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it." Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist who sells
it. A large bottle doesn't cost very much
but if it fails to give easy relief in every
case of liver sluggishness and constipa-
tion, just ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults. Take
a spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. 1t
doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel Take
dose of ealomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose day.
