RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousand:
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive Tab
lets, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for II years and calomers old-time en-
emy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but healing, sooth-
ing vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to act
normally. They never force them to
unnatural action.
If you have a dark brown mouth"
now and then-a bad breath-a dull,
tired feeling sick headache - torpid
liver and are constipated, you'll find
quick, sure and only pleasant results
from one or two little DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets At bedtime.
Thousands take one or two every
night just to keep right. Try them.
