BETTER THAN CALOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablcts-the sub
sttute for calomel--are mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive.
colorcd tablets are the result Of DR..
Edwards determination not TO treat
liver and bowel complaints with caloncl.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects They don't injurc the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense OF the teeth? Calomci
sometimes plays havoc with the gums
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not TO
take calornel. LIT DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place,
Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and
