STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tones, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment - clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
! Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse the
liver in a soothing, healing way. When
the liver and bowels are performing their
natural functions, away goes indigestion
and stomach troubles. !"
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the sub.
stitute for calomel.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain. y, -
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief, so you can eat what you like.
