keep LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets
Yesterdays answer:

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must
watch your liver and bowels-there' s
no need Of having a sallow com
plexion-dark rings under your eyes
-pimples-a bilious look in your face
dull eyes with no sparkle. Your
doctor will tell you ninety per cent of
all sickness comes from inactive
bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards. a well-known ply
stefan in Ohio. perfected a vegetable
compound mixed with olvie oil to act
on the liver and bowels which he
gave to his patients for years.
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel, are gentle in
their action yet always effective.
They bring about that natural buoy
ancy which all should enjoy by tonipg
up the liver and clearing the system
of impurities.
DR. Edwards Olive Tablets are
known by their olive color. 15c eand
