Cathartic Root/Suck with TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE FORHISTT CALOMEL Starts Your Liver Without Making You Sick and Caa Not Salivate. Every druggist in town—your druggist and everybody’s druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone is taking its place. ‘’Calomel is dangerous and people know it. while Dodson’s Liver Tono is perfectly safe and gives better results." said a prominent local dnigplst Dodson’s Liver Tone is personally guaraateed bv every drug gist who sells it. A large bottle costs but a few cents, and K it fails to give easv relief ia every ease of liver sluggishness aird constipation, you have only to ask for your mon ey back. Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleas ant-tcst!ng. c , purely vegetable rem edy, harmless to both children and adults. Take* a spoonful at night and wake up feelica fine; no bilious ness, sick hendache t acid stomach or constipated bowels. -It doesn’t fcrip.* or cause inconvenience all the next day 'like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel today and tomor row you will feel weak, aick and nauseated. Don’t !o#e a day’s work! Take Dodson’s Liver Toae Instead and fee! fine, fnll of vigor and am bition. Mother! Your child isn’t natur ally cross and peevish. See ft ton gue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach,, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once. When listless, pale, feverish, full S f cold, breath bad, throat spr\ oesn’t eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, re member, a gentle liver and bowel cleansing should always be the first treatment gix'en. Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children’s ills: give i teaspoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fer menting food which is clogged ifl the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmless, delicious “fruit laxative," and it never fails to effect a good "inside” cleansing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups are plainly on the hot- fie. Keep it handy in your home. A little given today saves a sick child . tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a bottle of ‘‘Cali fornia Syrup of Figs.” then look and see that it Is made by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.
