CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
a day’s work.
Calomel salivates! Tt’s mercurv.
Calomel arts like dynamite on a slug
liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into it
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle
of Dodson s Liver Tone, which is a harm
h->5 vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn’t start your liver and straighten
^ou up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you sick,
a011 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
feeling.great, full of ambition and ready
for work or play. It’s harmless, pleas
ant and safe to give to children; they
like it.
Small farm of 10 acres. Con
veniently located in edge of
town, for sale at a bargain.
Good three room house and
small orchard. All under fence.
Will accept good young stock
as part payment and make easy
terms on balance. Newark Real
