People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through Dr., Edwards

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening.

Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. +. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years Of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
