Edwards for 17 yearstreated scores of women for liver and bowel ail- ments. During these years he gave to his patients a prescription made of a few well-known vegetable ingredients mixed with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. You will know them by their olive color. These tablets are wonder-workers on the liver and bowels, which cause a nor- mal action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter in one’s system. If you have a pale face, gallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, head- aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note the pleasing results. Thousands of women and men take Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the suc- cessful substitute for calomel—now and then just to keep them fit. 15¢ and 30c, —— PALACE — Watch For “MORAN OF THE LADY LETTY” A small knob is fitted on one uwylllllw:- Miss Lott will e Love" (Bnyder) song by Bob Win ninghu Si80-—Agnes MeGonagle, lyric so prano cctions: “Adoration” (Te madi “Lilac Tree" (Gartland) newhere i Voiee s Calling e); Miss Marie Fitzgerald, compunist WaGY eneral lectric Scheneetady, N, Y.)
