Children need a mild corrective occasionally to regulate stomach and howels. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a safe vegetable compound mixed with olive oil. They tone up and regu- late the eliminative tract. Not a nasty cathartic or a habit-form- ing medicine, but a safe, pleasant remedy for constipation, sour stomach, torpid liver, bad breath, and similar disorders. Dr. Ed- wards, a widely known family physician of Ohio, prescribed these tablets for many years in his own practice. Children from six years up are greatly helped by them and like to take them. Recognized by their olive color, Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets over- come those irritable spells that many children are subject to, keep their bodies in active healthy condition, skin clear and eves bright with the light of perfect health. 15¢c, 30c and 60c sizes. 18’ Hours - Washington to VIA The Double-Track Sea-Level Route De Luxe Service CLUB CARS OBSERVATION CARS AND EXCELLENT DINING CAR SERVICE No Extra Fare A £ Florida - Northbonnd Teadup. .
