AUGUST FLOWER.

"It is n surprising fact" says Pro-

used Green's August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged
liver and stomach. and for constipa-
tiou | find for tourists and statesmen,
or for persons filing office positions,
where headaches and general bad reel

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the larc.
sale OF any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and Granamothers
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion and Biliousness. Doctors
we're scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis. Nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used the Aug.
ust Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation OF nndigested food,
regulate the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
