 Days Work.

There's no reason why person should take sickenirg, salivating calo- rel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a per- feet substitute for calomel.
 It Is a 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 Fodson's Liver Tone. because it is per fectly harmless.
 'Calomel is q dangerous drug. It Is mercury and attacks your bones. Taks a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick >nd nauseated to- norrow. Don't lose a days work. Take spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness. corstipa- ton. sluggishness. headache. coated tongue or sour stomach Your drug gist says if you don't find Dodson. $ Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you.--Adv.
