A TRIED AND PROVED DUARANTEE
Man Bought a Bottle of Dodson's Liv-
er Tone Then Took It Back and
Asked for His Money and
Got It.
A man rocently tried out the guar-
antee which Palacios Drug Co., gives
with every bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone. He bought a bottle and thor.
went back to the drug store and said
the medicine hadn’t helped him.
This druggist just reached Into his
cash register and took out a half dol-
lar, the price of the bottle of Liver
Tone, and banded it back to the gen-
tleman. But be didn’t take the money.
He owned up that he was just trying
the guarantee and, as a matter of fact,
he had found Dodson’s Liver Tone the
best remody for constipation and bil-
iousness he had ever tried. “Why,”
he said, “my wife wouldn’t be with-
out a bottle in the house for anything,
jt’s the best thing in the world for the
whole family, and the medicine that I
pefer to take or give to my children
for a lazy liver.”
Palacios Drag Co., sell’s Dodson’s
Liver Tone and guarantees It to start
the liver without violence. It is tak-
ing the place of calomel everywhere.
It you buy a bottle and don’t fiud this
pleasant-tastlng vegetable liquid the
best thing to start a lazy liver, he will
hand your money back with a smile.
