BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
/ are aHarmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver Is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards's determination not
totreat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
The 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 calomel. They take
hold Of the trouble and quickly correct it.
Why cure the liver at the expense of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc
with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. It
is best not to take calomel, but to let DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches. dizziness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits
