Dodson's Liver Tane is mild, pleasant tasting and haimless—which makes it a fine medicine for use when your children become bilious and costipa ted. But the most remarkable fea ture of Dodscn.s Liver Tone is the fact that Saunders & Fowden who sells it, guarantees it absolutely. The druggist will return your money without argument if a bottle fails to give entire satisfaction. L. Price, 50 cents. We suggest that you get a bottle today and have it 1 ready for the next member of your I family whose liver goes wrong.
