EVEN CAREFUL
CAL0MEL USERS
ARE SALIvATED
Next Dose of Treacherous Drug
May Start Misery
for You.

Calomel is dangerous. It may salivate
you and make you suffer fearfully from
soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws
and teeth, swollen tongue and exces-
sive saliva dribbling from the mouth.
Don't trust calomel. It is mercury {;
quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you'll bt
