TAKING CALOMEL LIKE BORROWING FROM MONEYSHARK Every Dose Means a Bigger One Next Month—Calomel Shocks System Into Temporary Action Only, Weakens and Robs Or gans of Natural Action. Calomel is a powerful rhercuri.il drug. It crashes into the sour bile on the stomach and works it up, and the shock and working ,up of the bile forces liver' and bowels to action. But with this forcible■ movement, and the vom iting. and the awful nausea, the whole system is weakened, bowels paralyzed, and a relaxing do-e of castor of! o? strong salts must be taken. Now, as only the sour bile has been removed from the stomach, and noth ing done to correct what caused this bile and constipation, in a few weeks is needed another and a strong.-r shaking up. JACOBS’ LIVER SALT acts upon the liver as surely as calomel, but by stimulation, not force. It removes the cause of the trouble. It dissolves the poisonous uric acid that has accumu lated in the system and carries it off in the urine, and it quickly flushes the alimentary tract and cleanses it of all waste and fermentation. It combines easily with the gastric juices of the stomach and supplies the deficient sul phates that nature uses to digest food and to prevent uric acid deposits. JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is a natural and quick remedy for constipation, bil iousness. indigestion, sour stomach, rheumatism, gout, neuralgia and all other ailments. It is effer vescent and agreeable, quick to act, very mild and sure. No other liver medicine has the same natural, stim ulant effect. Don’t take a substitute.
