keep LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and boWels-there's no need
Of having a sallow compleXion-darls
rings under your eyes-pimples--a bill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per
cent of all sickness comes from inactive
bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician in
Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and
bowels, which he gave to his patients for
years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective.
They bring about that exuberance of
spirit, that natural buoyancy which should
be enjoyed by everyone by toning up the
liver and clearing the system of impurities.
