CALOMEL IS \
 DANGEROUS DRUG
Next Dose May Salivate You, Loosen Teeth or Start
 Rheumatism.

Calomel is mercury; quicksilver. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 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 a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if 1t 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.
 Don't take ,calomell It makes you sick the next day; it loses you days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary. Give it to the children because 1t Is perfectly harmless and can not sallvate.-Advertise
