Better Than Calomel
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
. a Harmless Substitute.

DIR. Edwards Olive TabIets-the
substitute for caIomel-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 ealomel. His
efforts to Danish it brought out
these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomei does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or cal
omeI. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure
the liver at the expense of the teeth !?
CaIomel sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. 1t
is best not to take calomei, but to
|, let DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take
iSts place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and
ifhat lazy feeling come from con-
stipation and a disordered liver.
Take DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
when you feel "loggy" and "heavy."

and how they "perk up" the spirits.
