Even Careful Calomel Users are Salivated Very Neat Dose of Treacherous Drug may Start Trouble Calomel is dangerous. It may salivate you and make you suffer fearfully from soreness of gums, tenderness of jaws and teeth, swollen tongue, and excessive ealiva dribbling from the mouth. Don’t trust calomel. It is mercury; quicksilver. 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. If you take calomel today you’ll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you. while if you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you will wake up feeding great. No salts necessary. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and can net salivate. I* ■ A DOLLAR NOW is worth $1.50 after July Ist.
