CONSTIPATED PEOPLE CAN NOW FORGET ILLS Thousands of Former Suf ferers Now Happy Through Taking Dod son’s Liver Tone Instead of Calomel. Many thousands of people have found that constipation can now be safely and easily overcome, in a perfectly pleasant manner, by taking Dodson’s Liver Tone in the place of calomel, which is really dangerous to so large a proportion of sufferers. Dodson’s Liver Tone is made to take the place of calomel and has been from the first bottle put on the market. It has none of the disagreeable features and af ter-effects of calomel, which is in fact a form of mercury, a min eral and a poison. Slaton Drug Cos., and all repu table local druggists, positively guarantee to refund purchase price (50c.) of Dodson’s Liver Tone in case you are not entirely satisfied, and they will recom mend this remedy as a strictly vegetable-liquid, containing noth ing harmful. Aside from its perfect safety, Dodson’s Liver Tone not only leaves no bad effects, but works easily and naturally, without pain or gripe and without inter fering at all with your regular habits, diet or occupation. It is very simple to profit by the ex perience of others and gain relief from constipation and sluggish liver now. adv LOCUST GROVE INSTITUTE WAS PAID HIGH HONOR A splendid tribute and re cognition has recently come to Locust Grove Institute from the Commission of International Peace Conciliation.
