Acts like dynamite on sluggish

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when 5O~cents buys large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone per-
feet substitute for calomel.
It is pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
days work. Take a spoonful OF
Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No
more biliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist says If
