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

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
itute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver andbowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure 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? Calomel sometimes plays
.Aroc with the gums. So do strong
5dids. 1t is best not to take calomel.
Let DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take
its place.

feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when youfeel "logy" and
"heavy." They "clear" clouded brain
and "perk up" the spirits. 15c and SOC.
