having sallow complenon-dark rings
under your eyes-pimPles-a bilious
look in your face-duD eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a wel-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM

the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub

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.
