BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are 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 cslomel
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calonei 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. So do strong liquids. 1t is beet 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
disordered liver. sTake DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel ''loggy" and
heavy" Note how they 'clear" clouded
brain and how they ''perk up" the spirits.
