QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for IL years and calomel's old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but a healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
Ifyou have a dark brown mouth

suits from one or two of DR.. Edwards
