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 sallow complexion-dark
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 mac
tive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio. perfected a vegetable CON-
pound mixed with olive oil to act on the
liver and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute 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 ton
ing up the liver and clearing the sys,
TEN of impurities.
You will know DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets by their olive color. 10c and
