Tablets, the substitute for ealomel.
DR.. Edwards. a practicing physi.
clan for II years and Calomel's old

for Olive Tablets while treating tor
pid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do moi
contain calomel, but a healing, sooth
ing laxative.
No gripping Is the keynote" OF these
little sugar.coated tablets. .5i5
They cause the bowels and liver to
act normal. They never force them t
unnatural action.
1t is easy to compel bowel and liver
activity for a time with calomel and
nasty, sickening. gripping castor oil
but the after effects are dangerous.
and the real cause of the trouble is
often not even touched.

easy to take that children do not re-
gard them as medicine" at all.
They never grippe.
