TRY ITI SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.
Every druggist in town your drug
gist and everybody's druggist has noticed
a great falling otT in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly
safe am gives better results," said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson's
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who .sells it. A large
bottle costs SO cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back. ,
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant-tasting,
purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children and adults. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose a day's work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of
vigor and ambition.
