bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets The pleasant. sugar-coated
tablets are taken for bad breath by
all who know them.
Or. Edwards Olive Tablets act gem
tly but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
Of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, painor any disagreeable effects.
Dr. +. NJ. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years Of prac-
tce among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint. with the
attendant bad breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil: you
will know them by their olive color.

with emphasis: Unless the board

ought 20 be abolished and the money
given IL devoted to something else. "
The former governor deprecated

said were not necessary. while the
work of caring for the INDECENT. the
sick and the suffering OF humanity
was permitted to go begging. HC

TO stem the increase and provide for
