CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SlClf
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose a
day’s work
There’s no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating
calomel when 50 cents buys a
large bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone—a perfect substitute for
calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable li-
quid which will start your liver
just as surely’ as calomel, but it
doesn’t make you sick and can
not, salivate.
Children and grown folks can
take Dodshn’s Liver Tone, be-
cause it is perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug.
It is mercury and attacks your
bones. Take a dose of nasty
omel today and you will feel1
weak, sick and nauseated tomor-
row. Don’t lose a day’s work.
Take a spoonful of Dodson’s Liv-
ver tone instead and you will
wake up feeling great. No more
biliousness, constipation, sluggish
ness, headaches, coated tongue or
sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don’t find Dodson’s
Liver Tone acts better than hor-
rible calomel yrour money is wait-
ing for you. 3

F you arc a business man, if you are a pro-
fessional man, if yon are employed at a
daily wage, make up your mind to deposit
weekly a certain sum of money in the bank.
You’ll be surprised how the sum will grow.
Cash in bank gingers up the man who has
it there. lie has more confidence in him-
self. The business man is ready for a dull season. He
is ready for an opportunity.
So is the professional man. The man who is work-
ing for a daily wage and who hasn’t any money in bank
frequently i9 fearful of a loss of his situation. He does
not work as well or with the confidence in himself aa
docs the man with something laid aside for a rainy day.
