THOMAS FOR By PARK LARGE MAJORITY Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 4.— As to how Thomas county would go in the congressionol race there has never been a doubt. The best posted men in all sec tions of the country' concede it Calomel loses youja day! You know what calomel is. It’s mer cury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you, Calomel attacks the bones and should never be taken into your system. When you feel bilious, sluggish constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents a large bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and plesant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is gauranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate. Don’t take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day,s work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straightens you up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is per fectly harmless and does not gripe.
