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

The secret of keeping young is to
feel yourg-to do this you must
watch your liver ard bowels-there's
no need of having a sa!low complex
ion-dark rings under your eyes
pinples-a bilious look in your face
dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doc
tor will tell you 90 per cent of all
sickness comes from inactive bowels
and liver.
DIR. Edwards, a well known ply
sician 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.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets. the
substitute for ca!omel, are gentle in
their action, yet always effective.
They bring about that exuberance of
spirit. that natural buoyancy which
should be enjoyed by every one, by
toning up the liver and clearing the
system of impurities.
