Better Than Calomel
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
a Harmless Substitute.

DIR. Edwards Olive TabIets-the
substitute for caIomel-are a mild
but sure laxative, and their effect
on the liver is almost instantaneous.
They are the result of DR.. Edwards
determination not to treat liver and
bowel complaints with calomeI. His
efforts to Danish it brought out
these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do
the good that calomeI 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 ex.
