AN ASTONISHING FACT

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the masses
of inteliigen, and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually burden
instead of u pleasant existence of enjoy
ment and usefulness as it ought to be.
There is no good reason for this, if you
will only throw aside prejudice and skep-
ticism, take the advice of Druggists and
your friends, and try one bottle of Green's
August Flower. Your speedy relief is
certain. Millions of bottles of this medi-
cine have Teen given away to try its vir-
tues, with satisfactory ret ults in every
case. Three doses will relieve the worst
case: Positively sold by all Druggists On
the Western Continent.
