Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHarn1less Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi, ute for ealeniel - are a mild but stife laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr.E Edwards determination not to tfeat liver and bowel complaints with ealomel. His efforts to banish, 1t brought out these little olive -colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that caIomei does, but have no bad after effects. They don't iijare the teeth like strong ,jquids or ealofnei. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth! Caiomei sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It Is Best not to take ealonaei, but to, let Dr. EdWafds' Olive Tablets take it's place.
 Most. headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel s'1oggy and s7neavy." Note how they 'tclear" cleuded brain and how they .'perk up'' the spirits. lDc and 25c a box All druggists t'*

 Most soaps and prepared shanapoos contain too much alkah, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use IS just plain nitlsiffed cocoanit oil Tor this is pure and entirely. gfeaseless.' It's very soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug Store and a few ounces will last the whole family for months..
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a tsaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundancs of rich, cFeamy lather, cleanses thoroughly and Finses Out easily.
