DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ

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 calo-

and quickly correct it. Why cure the

French. English. Italian and Afri-

of the latter has been introduced

English.
