bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards'O Olive

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,

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets without
gripping, pain or any disagreeable effects.
eNDr. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years OF prac-
