BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets arc
q Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calonel - 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 calonel
His efforts to Danish it brought cut these
little oiive-colored tablets.
These 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 calonlel. 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 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 '1oggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear" clouded
brain and how they ''perk up" the spirits.
