Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. It’s

Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking
ft up. This is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. If you are slug-
gish and '“all knocked out,” if your
liver is torpid and bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness, coat-
ed tongue, if breath is bad or stomach
sour, just try a spoonful of harmless

Liver Tone for a few cents. Take a

FRECKLES
Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These Ugly Spots
There’s no longer the slightest need of feeling
ashamed of your freckles, as Othine—double
strength—is guaranteed to remove these homely
spots. - ■
Simply get an ounce of Othine—double
strength—from your druggist, and apply a little
of it night and morning and you should soon see
that even the worst freckles have begun to dis-
appear, while the lighter ones have vanished en-
tirely. It is seldom that more than one ounce
is needed to completely-clear the skin and gain
a beautiful clear complexion.
Be sure to ask for the double strength Othine,
as this is sold under guarantee of money- back
if it fails to remove freckles.—Adv. ;
spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten
you right up and make you feel fine
and vigorous I want you to go back to
the store and get your money. Dod-
son’s Liver Tone is destroying the sale
of calomel because it is real liver
medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore
it cannot salivate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson’s Liver Tone will put your
sluggish liver to work and cleanyour
bowels of that sour bile and consti-
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that a bottle of Dodsons
Liver Tone will keep your entire fam-
ily feeling fine for months. Give it to
your children. It is harmless; doesn’t
gripe and they like its pleasant taste.

IT’S NOT YOUR HEART:
IT’S YOUR KIDNEYS
Kidney disease is no respecter of per-
sons. ' A majority of the ills afflicting
people today can be traced back to the
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the fil-
terers of your blood. If the poisons
which are swept irom the tissues by the
blood are not eliminated through the
kidneys, disease of one form or another
will claim you as a victim.. .
Kidney disease is usually indicated by
weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness,
despondency, backache, stomach trou-
ble, pain in loins and lower abdomen,
gall stones, gravel, rheumatism, sciatica
and lumbago. . ,
All these derangements are nature s
signals that the kidneys need help.
You should use GOLD MEDAL Haar-
lem Oil Capsules immediately. The
soothing, healing oil stimulates the
kidneys, relieves inflammation and de-
stroys the germs which have caused it.
Go to your druggist today and get 3
box of GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil
Capsules. In twenty-four hours you
should feel health and vigor returning.
After you feel somewhat improved
continue to take one or two capsules
each day, so as to keep the first-class
condition and ward off the danger of
other attacks. '
Ask for the original imported GOLD
MEDAL brand. Three sizes. Money T
funded if they do not help you.
Weak and Miserable?
Does the least exertion tire you out?
Feel “blue” and worried and, have daily
backache, lameness, headache, dizziness
and kidney irregularities? Sick kidneys
are often to blame for this unhappy
state. You must act quickly to pre-
vent more serious trouble. Use Doan s
Kidney Pills, the remedy recommended
everywhere by grateful users.
