Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine i'm the civil
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart Failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the, action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organ
ic action of the system, and that is oil
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form. to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by A. S.
