DODSON WARNS USERS OF CALOMEL Says Drug Acts Like Dynamite on Liver and You Lose a Day's Work. Thero's no reason why a person should tnke sickening, salivating calomel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dod son 's Liver Tone a perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant vegetable liquid which "Ml start your liver just as surely as cal omel, but it doesu 't make you sick and can not salivate. Child-en nnd grown folks can take Dod son 's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless. Cal .nel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomor row. Don 't lose a day 's work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up reeling great No more biliousness, constipation, sluggish ness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson 's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you. adv Just received 100 dozen Ladies Crepe de Chine Handkerchiefs in Christmas boxes, 25c, 50c and $1.00 a box.
