BETTER THAN CALOMH
Thousands Have Discovered DT. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the s,,b. stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't iniure the teeth like strong liquids or calomeI. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth?. Calornel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calonel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place.
