Says Dr. Edwards, a Well-Known
 Ohio Physician

Dr.F.M.Edwards for 17 years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ail- ments. During these years he gave to his patients prescription made of a few well-knoWn vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil, naming ther1 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. You will know them by their olive color.
 These tablets are wonder-workers on the liver and bowels, which cause a normal action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter in ones system.
 If you have a pale face, sallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, head aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets nightly for time and note the pleasing results.
