HEALTHY LIVER MAKES BEAUTY Famous Actress Finds that a Healthy Liver is Necessary to Good Looks and Youthfulness. One of the best known women of the American stage is writing a series of articles on the preservation of beauty. She attaches great importance to keeping the liver active at all times, and she is right. Neither good looks nor happiness will stay long with any man or woman who lets the liver get lazy and sluggish. It is not always safe to take calomel, the old liver remedy. Doctors agree that it is a very uncertain drug But the Rice Drug Co., has a remedy for sale that they guarantee to take the place of calomel absolutely, and still be harmless, causing no restriction of habit or diet. This remedy is Dodson's Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasanttasting vegetable liquid, but it starts the liver gently and surely and relieves constipation and biliousness so promptly that it has become a dependable remedy in thousands of homes in the United States. There are scores of families in this vicinity who will not be without it in the house and who would not think of starting on a trip without it. THp R ipn nriirv PA ups W. nao AU1U SO much Dodson's Liver Tone that they are convinced of its merit and will give any person his 60c back, who buys a bottle and does not find that it takes the place of calomel tt> perfection.
