Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mother and
gre ndm ther never thought Of using
anything else for Indigestion or
Bi'lousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard OF Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration of
Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation Of
Indigestion food, regulate the &C
ton 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. You
only need a few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For

A German Pastime.

An OK race is held annually in
many of the provincial districts of
Germany. The entry fee for the
race is very small, but each OK en-
tered must be ridden by it's owner.
Furthermore, the rider is not allow
ed to have either whip or spurs, and
depends entirely upon his voice to
guide the beast. 1t is here that the
skill of the rider comes into play,
as everything depends on the train
ing of the OK and the ability of the
owner to direct its movements, des-
pite the distracting noises of the
other competitors and spectators. As
the oxen do not race on a track. 10
direct them is no easy matter. The
rider who can force his numbering
steed to go in a straight line is GER
tain to win.
