This gentle bile-producer mighthelp'
Some people are always worn out.
Their work is a strain. They seem
always too tired to play.
They miss much happiness. And
often needlessly. For frequently it is
constipation that is sapping away
strength. Early fatigue, mental dull
ness, sleeplessness, can all be the re-
suits of constipation.
So keep regular. And to assist Ma
ture, use DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets!
For, in addition to definite, gentle re-
lief, they give mild stimulation to the
flow of bile from the liver without the
discomfort of drastic, irritating drugs.
That's why millions use this laxative
every year. Get Olive Tablets at your
druggist. Only 15e, SOC and CO.,.
sYour liver secretes from 20 to so ounces Of
bile every day to aid in the digestion Of fats and
stimulate muscular action of the intestinal
system. DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. besides
helping keep you regular, contain an ingre-
dient which definitely assists in the secretion
of bile. That is one of the reasons why Olive
Tablets have unsurpassed effectiveness.

other kind of cough medicine, and it's
so simple and easy.
First, make syrup by stirring 2
cups granulated sugar and one cup of
water few moments, until dissolved.
A child could do it, No cooking needed.
Then get pa ounces of Pinex from
any druggist. This is concentrated
compound of Norway Pine, famous for

chial membranes.
Put the Pinex into pint hottie, and
add your syrup. Thus you make full
