Or. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel--are the mild
est but surest laxative known, and
their effect on the liver is almost in
stantaneous. They arc the result OF
Dr. Edwards determination not to'
treat liver and bowel complaints with'
calomel. Dr. Edwards has been calo-
mel's uncomprising foe His enorts'
to Danish it brought out these little
olive-oil-colored tablets, rare conf
bination Of vegetable compounds
mixed with olive oil These pleasant
harmless little tablets do all the good
that calomel docs but have no bad
after effects They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel
They take hold OF the trouble aud
quickly correct it Why cure the liv

mel sometimes plays havoc with ths'
gums so do strong liquids II Isl
