QUESTION ANSWERED

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in ths civilized world. Your motherf and grandmothers never thought oe using anything else for Indigestion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen- dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac- ton of the liver, stimulate the ner- vous and organic action of the sys- tenn, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with head ache and other aches.
