HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With Gallo
tabs, the Purified and Re-
fined CalOmel Tablets That
are NausealesS, Safe and
Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds. coughs,
sore throat and influenza can be de-
pended upon for full effectiveness
until the liver is made thoroughly
active. That is why the first step in
the treatment Is the new. nausealess
calomcl tablets called Calotahs.
which are free from the sickcning
and weakening effects OF the old
style calomcl. Doctors also point out
the fact that an active liver may go
long way towards preventing in
nucnZa and colds, and is one OF the
most important factors in enabling
the patient to successfully Withstand
an attack and ward off pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs on the tongue
at bedtime. with swallow of water
that's all. No salts. no nausea nor
the slightest interference with your
eating, pleasure or work. Next
morning your cold has vanished. your
liver is active. your system is puri
fled. and you are feeling fine, with n
hearty appetite for breakfast. GEN
uine Calotahs are sold only in original
sealed packages. price thirty-flve

of what the message must mean swept
over me, and / sprang to my feet al
most hysterical with terror.
He must be dead by this time, Lii

EMBODIED me in her strong arms.

darling. He has left US urgent work

And, besides, you must remember that
he has escaped before from terrible
danger. It's possible that he may do

But her words were without convic-

the spur OF my fathers mysterious
