They all Rive the . lame reason. Dodson's Liver Tone s taking its place. "Calomel is dangerous and people t enow it, while Dodson's Liver Tone t perfectly safe and give better re- i suits," said a prominent local drug fist. Dodson's Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist ! who sells it. A large bottle costs but " * few cents, and if it fails to give iiasy relief in every case of liver slug- ^ gir.hness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasanttasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of cnlomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day's work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full of vigor and ambition.
