Maryland growers have used stable

have replaced horses this supply can
not be secured since less manure is
produced, and il is used by growers

BAD BREATH
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel, act gently on the bowels
and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous caIomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. r. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years Of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are purely
a vegetable compound mixed with olive
oil; you win know them by their olive
color. Take one or two every night for
. week and note the effect. 10c and 25c
