Prohibition Laws Are
Held to Be Valid
Richmond, Va., Jan. 20. —The
prohibition laws of West Virginia
and Virginia, designed to prevent
the shipment of intoxicants into
that state, were held valid by the
United States circuit court of ap
peals here today.
The decision, which was unan
imous, asserted that unless a con
signee can show conclusively that
liquor was ordered by him for
his own personal use without ad
vertisement on the part of the
consignor or without other solici
tation common carriers may be
restrained from making deliver
ies into the state.
Today’s decision was on the
state’s appeal from the lower
courtsfrom aCincinnati wholesale
liquor firm and the Adams Ex
press company.

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Adts like dynamite on a
S|uggish liver and you
lose a day’s work
There’s no reason why a per
son should take sickening, saliva
ting calomel when 50 cents buys
a large bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone—a perfect substitute for
calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable li
quid which will start your liver
just as surely as calomel, but it
doesn’t make you sick and can
not salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodson’s Liver Tone, be
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
It is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty cal
omel today and you will feel
weak, sick and nauseated tomor
row. Don’t lose a day’s work.
Take a spoonful of Dodson’s Liv
er Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bil
iousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headache, coated tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don’t find Dodson’s
Liver Tone acts better than hor
rible calomel your money is wait
ing for you. ad.
