Get Dr. Edwardi' Olive Tablets '
That is the joyful cry of thousand
since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets
the substitute for calomel. i
Dr. Edwards a practicing physician foi
17 years and calomel's old-time enemy
discovered the formula for Olive Tablets
while treating patients for chronic con-
stipation and torpid livers.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets do nol
contain calomel but a healing soothing
vegetable laxative.
1 No griping is the 'keynote" of these
little sugar-coated olive-colored tablets.:
I hey cause the bowe s and liver to act
normally. They never force them to :
unnatural action.
If you have a "dark brown mouth" now
and then a bad breath a dull tired
feeling sick headache torpid liver and
are constipated you'll find quick sure and
I cmiy pleasant results from one or two lit-
i tie Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets at bedtime.

just to keep ruiht. Try them. 10c an'.'

Another name is "I'oiilooli" phi.vcd

It Is similar to our poker except lot
the fact that you only use three cards
and cannot draw. The deck is uevei

n game similar to pinochle called
"Ih'X'ul lle.iqiie" but fexv know hoxv to
