Dr. Edwards, a practicing phy- for 20 years and calomel’s old-time enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic con- stipation and torpid livers. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative mixed with olive oil. No griping is the “keynote”- of these little sugar-coated, olive- colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to un- natural 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 results from one or two of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime.
