Calomel Good
but Treacherous
Next Dose may Salivate, Shock
Liver or Attack Bones
You know what calomel ia. It’s mer
cury; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous,
It crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomei
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! Nt
salts necessary. Give it to tne childret
because it is perfectly harmless and cai
not salivate.
