BETTER THAN CALONEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DIR. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For II years he used
these tablets "a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oiD in his private
practice with great success.
They do all the coed that calomel
does but have no bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping, no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods-yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Take DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
when you feel 'logy" and "heavy."
Note how they clear clouded brain and
perk up the spirits. 10c and 25c a box.
