August
Flower

This is the query per-
What Is petually on your little
boys lips. And he is
1t For7 no worse than the big
ger, older, balder-head-
ed boys. Life is an interrogation
point. What is it forl" we con-
tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc-
tory sermon we turn and ask: What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR 2" AS easily
answered as asked 1t is for Dys-
pepsia. 1t is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started in small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. 1t is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along-it
cures Dyspepsia. q
