Washington, Aug. 81. - Senator

In taking up the matter with them

State does not need coal as much rs
other States because OF her warmer
climate. He informed them that
South Carolinians cannot eat their
climate, and warns that unless the
industries are kept running it Will

CALONIEL SALIVATES
AND IsOOSENS TEETH
Tho Very Next Dose Of This Treach-
crous Drug May Start Trouble.

You know what calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken-
ing you. Calomcl attacks the bones
and should never bo put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle Of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents,
which is a harmless substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful,
and II 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.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick tho next day; it, loses you a
days work. Dodson's' Liver Tone
straightens yoy right up and you feel
great. No salts necessary. Give It to
the children because 1t Is perfectly
harmless and cannot salivate.-adv.
