Salivate.
Every druggist in town -your
druggist and everybody's drug-
gist has noticed a great f&Uing-
oflf in the sale of calomel. They
all give the same reason. Dod-
son’s Liver Tone is taking its
place.
“Calomel is dangerous and
people know it, while Dodson’s
Liver Tone is perfectly safe and
^gives better results,” said a
prominent local' druggist. Dod-
son’s Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costa
50 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 isapleas-
ant-tasting, purely vegetable
remedy, harmless to both chil-
dren and adults. Take a spoon*
ful at night and wake up feel-
ing fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or consti-
pated 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. m
