proceeded in a northerly direction,
where he discovered land extending
for 200 nautical miles.

Better Than CaIOrrleI
wards Olive Tablets are Harm
less Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tab1ets-the
su bstitute for caIomel-are a mild but
sure laxative, and their effect on the
liver is almost instantaneous. They
are the result of DR.. Edwards deter
mination not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with ca1omel. His efforts
to Danish it brought out these little
o1ive-co1ored tablets. These pleasant
little tablets do the good that calomel
does but have no bad after effects.
They don't injure the teeth like strong
liquids or ca1omeL They take hold of
trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Ca1omel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. It is best not to take Gallo
mel, but to let Dr.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take it's place.
