Dodson’s Liver Tono Is a harmless,
reliable vegetable-liquid. It is made
to take the place of dangerous calo-
mel.
Calomel in largo Josoa is a poison. It
is a mineral, a form of mercury. What
it does unpleasantly and very often
with decided danger in cases of con-
stipation and sluggish liver, Dodson’s
Liver Tone does for you safely and
pleasantly, with no pain and no gripe
Dodson’s does not interfere In any way
with your regular business, habits or
diet.
Dodson's Liver Tone if. batjked up by
by a guarantee of "satisfaction or your
money hack,” as the Palaoios Drug
Co., the druggists, will cejl you.
Of course so successful and reliable a
remedy has its imitators, but this store
has Dodson’s and will not declve you.
Dqdson never makes extravagant
statements. Dodson’s Liver Tone has
been made from the first to take the
place of calomel. It “livens the liver,’’
overcomes constipation agreeably and
makes you feel good and if you are
not completely satisfied with it the
Palacios Drng Co. will hand back the
purchase price (50c.) to you cheerful-
ly, instantly and without question.

SCHOOL MIES
In the bell game last Tuesday even-
ing, the High school beat the Acade-
my 13 to 10. This makes the second
defeat they have suffered at our hands.
These games are rather erode yet, and
noted-for numerous errors on both
sides but It Is sport and of a nature
that brings out the best in both
schools. Tbs work of some of our
boye in tbs field was good, but this
eannot be said of their batting. Wbe n
we strengthen our weak place* by a
little more praetioe we will have a
team that our town will be proud of.
The outlook for the Academy is about
as oars, they, too, being strong in
some place, and weak in other*. We
hope to either meet the Academy or
some other team ones a week. Our
bovs will go to Mldfisld on the 21st far
a game. .
