Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine In the
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for indigestion or bilious
mess. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, ner-
vous prostPation or heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation OF
undigested food, regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and that
Is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
