What is this 'nervOus trouble" with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember a few years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively automatically
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fore-f fathers
in times past. So 1t is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the system,
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
appreciate a cure. We recommend Green's
August Flower. Its cures are marvellous.

"Wednesday was more of holiday than any

that people are getting less mindful of the
debt'owed for the preservation Of the nations

in staying the present tendency so long a,
fathers and grandfathers become parties to
these holiday sports. The withdrawal Of this
portion Of public patronage would have .
marked effect.
