ut is a surprising fact" says Prof.
Howton, shat in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years, have met more people having
used Green's August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged
liver and stomach, and for constir;,-

or Tor persons filing office positions,
where headaches and general bad feel
ings from irregular habits exist, that
Green's August Flower is a grand
remedy. 1t does not injure the sys-
