SAYS CALOMEL
SALIVATES AND
LOOSENS TEETH
The Very Next Dose of This
Treacherous Drug May
Start Trouble.
You know what calomel is. It’s mer
cury ; quicksilver. Calomel is danger
ous. It crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.—Advertisement.

Faculties.
Many a man and many a woman
feels all out of sorts from thin, weak
ened blood. The least little thing gone
wrong throws them into a wild form of
despondency. Instead of bracing up
and meeting ordinary difficulties, they
are downed. Nerves are on edge. Ap
petite lags. Sleep is restless. They
are weak and tired and dull. Poor
blood works its havoc till the will loses
its power. Few people who fall into
habits of worry and despondency real
ize that most of their troubles are due
to lack of endurance—to blood that has
become weakened by overwork or
straining.
Healthy men and women with rich,
red blood see things brightly. They
tackle life with zest and go along smil
