. Get Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That is the joyful cry of thousands
since Dr. Edwards produced 01iv
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician
for 17 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 griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coated, olive-colored tab
Jets. They cause the bow els and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth"
bad breath a dull, tired feeling sick
headache torpid liver constipation,
you'll find quick, sure and pleasant re
sults from one or two of Dr. Edwards'
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take them every night jmt
to keep right. Try them. 10c and 25c.
