QUIT CkLOMEu
Thousands Are Turning From This
Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute Is Olive
Tablets for the Liver.

DR.. F. NJ. Edwards. a prominent
physician of Ohio, has discovered a
new laxative and liver toner in a com
bination of vegetable materials, mixed
with olive oil, which is IN effect al
most exactly like the old and IN
trustworth calomel, except that there
are none of the bad after effects of
calomel.
DR.. Edwards has long been a foe of
calomel, though he recognized its value
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
combination, which is in the shape of
a little 5ugar-coated, olise-oil colored
tablet.
The results Of II 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 DR.. Edwards reg
MAR patients as well as to thousands Of
others who have suffered and were
afraid of ealomei.
They are gentle in their action, yet
always effective. They bring about that
exnberanee of spirit, that natural
buoyancy ~hich should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and
clearing tho system of harmful i'm
purjkies. Zoe and CSC per box.
