A CLEAR COMPLEXION Ruddy Cheeks Sparkling Eyes Most Women Can Have Says Dr. Edwards, a Wall-Known Ohio Pbyn Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17 years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave to his patients a prescription made of a few well-known vegetable ingredi ents mixed witn 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, sallow 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 f a time and note the pleasing results. lhottsands of women as well as men take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the successful substitute for calomel now and then Just to keep in the pink of con dition, IQc and 25c per box, All druggists, j RHEUMATISM usually yields to the purer blood and greater strength which scorn ramon creates. Its rich oil-food enlivens the whole system and strengthens the organs to throw off the injurious acids. Many doctors them selves take Scott's Emulsion and you must stand firm against substitutes. Scott StBowne, Bloom6eld, N.J. 16-21 Uric Acid Poisoning! The most eminent physicians recog nize that uric acid stored up in the system is the cause of rheumatism, that this uric acid poison is present in the joints, muscles or nerves. By ex perimenting and analysis at the In valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo, N. Y., Dr Pierce dis covered a combination of native rem edies that he called Anuric which drives out the uric acid from the system and in this way the pain, swelling and inflammation subside. If you are a sufferer from rheuma tism, backache, pains here or there, you can obtain Anuric at ary drug store and get relief from the pains and ills brought about by uric acid. Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to a dropsical condition, often caused by disordered kidneys. Naturally when the kidneys are deranged the blood is filled with poisonous uric acid, which settles in the tissues of the feet, ankles, wrists or back as uratic sales; or under the eyes in bag-like formations. It is just as necessary to keep the kidneys acting properly as to keep the bowels active to rid the body of poisons. The very best possible way to take care of yourself is to take a glass of hot water before meals and an Anuric tablet. In this way it is readily dis solved with the food, picked up by the blood and finally reaches the kid neys, where it has a cleansing and tonic effect. Step into the drue store and ask for a 60-cent package of Anuric, or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial pekg. Anuric many .times more potent than lithia, eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar. A short trial will convince yon. Advertisement.
