BETTER THAU CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the sub stitute for calomel are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These htlle olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liverand bowel complaints with calomel. The pleasant little tablets do the pood that calomel does, but have no Bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. Jhey 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. Let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver.

You can tell every mother what the Vegetable Com pound has done for mv daughter." Mrs. J. H. Boyd, 1002 K. Jackson St., Danville, 111.
