IRYII! SUBSUME
FOR N CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.
Every druggist in town—your
druggist and everybody’s druggist
Iras noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson’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 re
sults,” said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is per
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle
costs but a few 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 is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling 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,
