You're bilious, sluggish, constipat
ed and believe you need vile, danger
ous calomel to start your liver and
clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 50 cent bottle of Dod
son's Liver Tone and take a spoonful
tonight. If it doesn't start your liver
atnd straighten you right up better
than calomel and without griping or
making "you sick I want you to go
back to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nauseated-
Don't lose a day's work. Take
a spoonful of harmless, vegetable
Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and
wake up feeling great. It's perfectly
harmless, so give it to your children
any time. It can't salivate, so let them
eat anything afterwards.
J. G. Hall recommends Dodson's
Liver Tone to take the place of calo
mel, ady.
