Most Women Don't
Need Beauty Parlors

This gentle biIe,prOduceFn'ight help
Sallow compilations and pimply skins
are often not a matter for cosmetics.
For most skin blemishes are aggra-
vated by constipation.
Constipation can be a serious handi-
cap. Mental dullness, early fatigue,
headaches, sleeplessnesS, mental de-
preston, loss of appetite, hyper-acidity
can all be caused by it.
Keep regular. If more than day
goes by, use DR.. Edwards Olive Tab
lets. This famous laxative is the choice
of millions. 1t does not shock the intes-
final system. And in addition, it stimu-
lates the secretion of bile without the
discomfort of drastic orirritating drugs.
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets at
your druggists, 15t, 30t, COZ.
%You liver secretes from 20 to 80 ounces Of
bile erery day, to aid in the digestion of tatt
and stimulate muscular action Of the intestinal
system. DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, besides
helping keep you regular, contain an ingre-
dent which definitely assists in the secretion
of bile. That is one Of the reasons why OhvG
Tablets have unsurpassed effectiveness.
