Yes, August Flower still has the larg-

world. Your mothers and grand IN others
never thought Of using anything else for
Indigestion or BilliousHess. Doctors
We're scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration 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 nerv-

that is all they took when feeling dull and

APPARENTLY GENUINE.

1t now seems to be certain that some
of those connected with the legations in
Pekin are still alive, and perhaps all
the ministers, with the exception of
Baron Won Ketteler, are alive. The dis
patch from the British minister seems
to be both new and genuine. 1t Is Curl
Gus that this dispatch, like all the others
thathave come out Of Pekin, doesn't tell
the world what 1t most wants to know,
but we shall probably soon have more
news, and more definite news. The way
the Chinese authorities, if there are any,
are dealing with the situation Is SO
wicked and exasperating that Vt tempts
even the most civilized Christian to
commend Emperor Williams directions
to his soldiers. The Chinese certainly
need a lesson that they will remember,
and If there is any way to teach them
they should be taught,
