DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets SUBJ

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You viii know them by their
olive color.
To have clear, pink skin, bright eyes,
no pimples, a feeling of buoyancy like
childhood days you must get at the cause.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets act on the
liver and bowels like calomel-yet have
mo dangerous after effects.
They start the bile and overcome con.

are sold annually at 10c and 25c per
box. All druggists. Take one or two
nightly and note the pleasing results.
