IMPORTANCE OF
CARING FOR TEETH
The European war has
shown most clearly the impor
tance of caring for the soldiers’
teeth. American dentists who
have been at work at some of
the hospital bases say that
wounded men whose teeth are
sound recover in half the time
required by those whose teeth
are decayed. Think what that
knowledge means as applied
to the teeth of school children !

EVER SALUTED JT
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feci bilious, sluggish, con
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need a dose of dangerous calomel just
remember that your druggist sells for
ItO cents n large bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone, which is entirely vegetable and
pleasant to take and is a perfect substi
tute for calomel. It is guaranteed to
start your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day’s
work. Dodson’s Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. Give
it to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't gripe.
