aHarnnless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
ute for calomel - are a mild but sure
'axat;ve, and their effect on the liver IS
observation-disclosures. They are the result
c,f DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
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 caloLael. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it: Why
cure the liver at the expense Of the teeth!
Calornsl sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. Sodo strong liquids. tits best not
to take calon1el, but to let Dr. EDWARDS
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.: Edwards
