They arc the re sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these lit'le olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel docs, 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 havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lary feeling come from constipation and n h mfri,ri liver.
