QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower has the larges
sale of any medicine ia the civilized
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
undigested food, regulate the action
of tho 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.

BIG END OEIOG.

In the.Winter Of 1897 the Mis-
souri, Pacific railway contracted
for Il lot of new rails to improve
its track at Atchison, Kansas.
The company Contracted with
the firm Of which it bought the
new rails, TO take the old rails
at in at market price when
they were taken up. The old
ones are being taken up now
AID delivered and are worth So
per ton more than the new rails
that were contracted for in the
winter of 1S97.-Hannibal Jour
nal.
The above is a good illustra-
ton of how trusts boost
prices and it also shows that
for once they have the big end
of the log to carry, for the trust
is not only swapping steel rails
but giving new ones for the old
ones and putting up Il bonus of
$3 per ton on the deal.
