QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the lar
gest saleof any medicine IN the civil
lized world. Your mothers or grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or.Biliousness
Doctors were scarce. and they seldom
heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous Pros
tration or heart failure, etc, They
used August Flower to clean out the
system AMI stop fermentation Of undi-
gested foo |. 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
vita headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses Of Green's August

satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with You. Sample bottles at
