The secret Of keeping young is to feel

having a sallow complexion-dark rings
under your eyes pimples-a bilious
look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor viii tell youninety
per cent Of all sickness comes from
inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on the
liver and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.
DIR. 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.

by their olive color. l5c and 30c.
