QUIT CALOMEL
Thousands Are Turning From This
 Dangerous Drug. A Safe Vegetable Substitute Is Olive Tablets for tho Liver.
Edwards.

Dr. F. M. Edwards, a prominent physician of Ohio, has discovered a new lexative and liver toner in com bination of vegetable materials, mixed with olive oil, which is in effect all most exactly like the old and un- trustworthy caIomel, except that there are none of the bad after effects of ca1omeI.
 pr. Edwards has long been foe of calomel though he recognized it's val ue along with it's dangers.
 His distrust of the uncertain drug eventually started him years ago to- wards experiments with the view of discovering a substitute, and he is to- day in possession of the long-sought- for mbination, which is in the shape of little sugar-coated, oliVe-oil col ored tablet.
 The results of IT years experience and practice are embodied in these marvellous little tablets.
 They are called Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets They oil the bowels, and their effect on the liver has been the means of relief to many of pr. Ed wards regular patients as well as to thousands of others who have suffer ed and were afraid of caIomel.
 They are gentle in their action, yet always effective. They bring about that euberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone by toning up the liver and clearing the system of harmful inn purftfes. 1Oc and 25c per bo-

 be borne altogether by an insurance

Sec Iond, much easier way would be to awakened public sentiment. believe that the great majority of those who drive autos and desire to be good law abiding citizens, should take ex- tra precautions in the city limits and especially on streets where traffic is
 heavy. If the Automobile Club will

Last Thursday, in the office of Buck inga1aan & Bent, three we'll known Democratic leaders, former Mayor Buckingham, M. J. C1abby and Mich ael A. Kenney, met to review tile sit uhtion.
 They had been asked to prepare an estimate of the Bridgeport vote. MT. Clabby and Mir. Kenney are members of the State Central Committee. In the absence of Dennis E.

It's Me for Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands since pr. Edwards produced Olive FELh- lets, the substitute for calonel.
 pr. Edwards, a practicing physician for IT years and Calomefss oid- time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets do not contain caIomel. but a healing, sooth- ing laxative.
 No gripping is the keynote" of these little sugar-coated tablets.
 They cause the bowels and liver to act normal. They never force them to unnatural action.
 pr. Edwards Olive Tablets are so easy to take that children do not re- gard them as medicine at all.
 If you have dark brown nnouthn now and then-a bad breath--a dull, tired feeiing-sfck headache-torpid liver and constipated, you'Il find quick. sure and only pleasant results from one or two little Olive Tablets at bed time. They're perfectly harmless.
