BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get at
the Cause and Remove 1t

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
substitute for Calomel. act gently on
the bowels and positively do the
work.
People afflicted with bad breath
find quick relief through DIR. Ed
wards Olive Tablets. The pleasant,
sugar-coated tablets are taken for
bad breath by all who know them.
DIR. 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,
gripping cathartics are derived from
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable ef-
feCts.
DIR. r. NJ. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of
practice among patients afflicted
with bowel and liver complaint with
the attendant bad breath.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are
purely a vegetable compound mixed
with olive oil; you will know them
by their olive color. Take one or
two every night for a week and note
the effect.

America comes forward toward the

amid all the strain of combat, of

for specific national aims, need to be
reminded.
France has been stimulated. cheered
and supported by President Wilson's
messages to Congress and by his inau-

big things for humanity being decided
in this war, to be supported, as they
will be. by deeds. has deep signifi-

tude with Germany" he was asked.
The hour that America is actually in
flow of supplies will be resumed at full
tide and will increase. and essential
credits will be easy. That is the way
it would seem now"
The active cooperation of the United
States in submarine chasing, in trans
port and in the supply of material and
money would contribute enormously to
shortening the war. said NJ. Thomas,
and he added: "It would be an inspira-
ton for France to have an American
