HAVE COLOR IN CHEEKS
Be Better Looking- Take Olive Tablets
     If your skin is yellow - complexion pallid- tongue coated- appetite 
poor- you have a bad taste in your mouth- a lazy, no-good feeling- 
you should take Olive Tablets.
     Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets- a substitute for calomel- were prepared by 
Dr. Edwards after 17 years of study.
     Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound mixed with 
olivo oil.  You will know them by their olive color.
     To have a clear, pink skin, bright eyes, no pimples, a feeling of 
buoyancy like childhood days you must get at the cause.
     Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act on the liver and bowels like colomel- yet 
have no dangerous after effects.
They start the bile and overcome constipation.  Take one or two nightly and 
note the pleasing results.  Millions of boxes are sold annually at 15 cents and 
30 cents.
