An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the. American peo-
pie are to-day dying from the effects of
Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the masses of in,clli-
gent and valuable people is most alarming,
making life actually burden instead of a
pleasant existence of enjoyment and useful
ness as it ought to be. There is no good
reason for this, if you will only throw aside
prejudice and skepticism, take TIE advice of
Druggists and your friends, and try one
bottle of Green's August Flower. Your
speedy reliefis certain. Millions Of bottles
Of this medicine have been given away to
try its virtues, with satisfactory results in
every case. You can buy sample bottle
for 10 cents to try. Three doses will relieve
the worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gists on the Western Continent.

indeed. 1t is no uncommon
sight to see wagon loads of
collins containing corpses on
the way to the graveyards, Bill

were out of danger and doing
