if you will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice VI
Druggists and your friends, and try QUO
bottle of Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief Is certain. Millions VI
bottles of tLis medicine have been Civ
en- away To try Its virtues, with satis-
factory results I'm every case. You can

Of long standing, without causing any
pain In it's direct application; ON the
contrary, producing u very cooling
and soothing effect to all infiamed sur
