Leading Druggists Will Refund Purchase Price of Dodson's Liver Tone if You're Dissatisfied. Aaron's Pharmacy may not be willing to guarantee the safety and reliability of calomel for constipation and sluggish liver, but this store will and does stand back of Dodson's Liver Tone with an unconditional guarantee to refund the full purchase price (50c.) instantly without question if you are not satisfied in every way with Liver Tone and its results. If you take calomel, perhaps you will seem to get temporary relief, it often happens that the after-effects bout are at least unpleasant and sometimes dangerous.

Calomel in large doses is a poison and actually deadly to some--perhaps to you--and hence its use means taking chances. With Dodson's Liver Tone you are always safe. Its reliability is so certain that it can be sold with the money -back guarantee. It is a vegetable liquid, pleasant to take, and it cannot harm. It clears up the dulled and aching head and cleans out the clogged system in what many have found to be a wonderful way.

Dodson's Liver Tone will do for you what it has done for thousands--and you run no risk in trying it. Ask Aaron's Pharmacy about Dodson's and the A. D. J. L.
