KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young-to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels-there's no need of
having a sallow complexion-dark rings
under your eyes-pimples-a bilious
look in your face-dull' eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed will olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for Calomel. are gentle in their
action yet always effective. They bring
about that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are known
by their olive color, 15c and ac.
