Question Answered.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Biz
iousness. 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 the 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. Sample bottles

confidence in the information which it
brings to their homes and tiresides
AS natural consequences it enjoys IN
its old age all the vitality and vigor OF
its youth, strengthened and ripened by
the experiences of over half a century.
1t has lived on its merits. and on the cor
