KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
Its Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young = to do this you must watch vour
liver and bowels - there's no need Of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples a bilious
look in your face = dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from In.
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
In Ohio, perfected a vegetable com.
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
biz patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their acton
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 clear
ing the system of impurities.
