—Most Women Can Have
Says Dr. Edwards, a Weil-Known
Ohio Physician
Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17years treated
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-workera on
i the liver and bowels, which cause a
normal action, carrying off the waste
i and poisonous matter in one's system.
If you have a pale face, sallow look,
dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, head
i 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 aa well as men
take Dr. Edward's Olive Tablets—the
; successful substitute for calomel—now
. and then just to keep in the pink of condi-

Just A Touch Of
Ice-Mint. PRESTO!
Corns Wither and Lift Out With
Fingers. No Pain.
Corn sufferers gather round; get
right up close and listen, here's good
news for you.
The real, genuine "Corn Killer" is
here at last. No humbug. Ice-Mint,
the new discovery made from a Jap
anese product, is said to surely and
quickly end all foot misery. Think of
it; only a touch or two of that cool
ing, soothing Ice-Mint and real foot
Joy is yours. No pain, not a bit of
"soreness, either when applying It or
afterwards and it doesn't even irri
tate the surrounding .skin.
It just makes a pair of tired,
swollen, aching, burning feet glow
with cooling comfort.
Hard corns, soft corns or corns be
tween the toes, also toughened cal
louses just shrivel right up and lift
off so easy. It's wonderful.
Every foot sufferer can appreciate
a treatment like this, especially wo
men who wear high heel shoes and
men who are obliged to stand on their
feet all day.
Try it. Just ask In any drug store
for a few cents worth of Ice-Mint and
learn for yourself what solid foot
comfort really is. There is nothing
better. —Advertisement.
