HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets That Are Nausealess,
Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds, coughs,
sore throat and influence 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
calomel tablets called CaIotabs, which
are free from the sickening and weak
ening effects Of the old style calomel.
Doctors also point out the fact that
an active liver may go a long way TO-
wards preventing influenza 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 bed time, with a 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-
fed, and you are feeling fine, with a
hearty appetite for breakfast. Gen
uine CalotabS are sold only in orig
inal sealed packages, price thirty-fiye
cents for the large, family package;
ten cents for the small vest-pocket
size. (ady)

All makes OF cars provide some
means Of getting temporary rich
mixture for cold starting by dash
control. In some cases this is &C
complished by q butterfly valve in
the air L Of carburetor, which
chokes off the air creating a higher
vacuum through the mixing cham
Der, thus lifting more gas through
the spray nozzle or Jets. Another
form is by controlling the amount
of gas passing through the nozzles
and in q few cases a combination
of goth are used.
AS a result of improper use OF
these controls, / believe tens of
thousands OF gallons of gas are
wasted annually. A great loss Of
power follows and other symptoms
develop that are often mistaken for
bad rings, cylinders pumping oil
and other troubles too numerous to
mention, . which usually lead up to
a lot of repair bills, very unsatis-
factory performance and like All
other ailments can only be remedied
by removing the cause.
