Dr. Edwards, a practicing physi- ian for 17 years and calomel’s old- | time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating pa- tients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, but a healing, sooth- ing vegetable laxative. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-col- ored tablets. They cause the bowels 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— headache—torpid liver-—consti- pation. youll find quick, sure and pleasant résults from one or two ot Dr) Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bed- time.
