BETTER THAN CALOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered Or.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel:
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.: Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy' and
"heavy." Note how they clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spir-
its. lOc and 25c box. All druggists.
