Medicinal Virtues Betalned and

Sickening Qualities Removed.
Perfected Tablet CaUed "Cal-
otabs.”
The latest triumph of modern
science is a ‘ ‘ de nauseated ” cal-
omel tablet known to the drug
trade ns ‘‘Calotabs. ” Calomel,
the most generally useful of all
medicines thus enters upon a
wider field of popularity,—puri-
fied and refined from those ob-
jectionable qualities which have
heretofore limited its use.
In biliousness, constipation,
headaches and indigestion, and
in a great variety of liver, stom-
ach and kidney troubles calo-
mel was the most successful rem-
edy, but its use was often neg-
lected on account of its sicken-
ing qualities. Now it is the eas-
iest and most pleasant of medi-
cines to take. One Calotab at
bedtime with a swallow of water,
—that’s all. No taste, no grip-
ing, no nausea, no salts. A good
night’s sleep and the next morn-
ing vou are feeling fine, with a
( lean liver, a purified system and
a big appetite. Eat what you
please. No danger.
Calotabs arc sold only in orig-
inal, sealed packages, price thir-
ty-five cents for the large, fami-
ly package; ten cents for the
small, trial size. Your druggist
is authorized to refund the price
as a guarantee that you will be
thoroughly delighted with Calo-
tabs.—(Adv.)
