abstainers. or teetotalers, were at
first so few that their neighbors con-

after all would do anything for us

thing or that thing couldn't be done
without rum. and in particular il was
said that it was impossible to raise a
barn withoutit. In nthosedays the heavy
beams that supported the barns were
raised at one time into place, business
which took a good deal of strength and
skill. All the men for miles around
used to be asked to help, and rum and
cider were freely served to give them
strength.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg
est sale fany medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers aud grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
PrOstration OF Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of un-
digested food, regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic 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. For sale by II. c.

Interesting Reminiscence of Old
Days when Whisky and harm
Rnising Went Together.

$50 you are studying temperance in
the public schools?' said grandpapa to
the boys. THAT is no new study to me-
! was taught not only temperance, but
total abstinence both by precept and
example when l was a boy; 'teetotal-
ism, as il was called in those days"
Grandpapa is nearly 90. and can re-
member so much American history
that the boys regard him as a mine of
information. 1t is much easier when
they are told at school TO find out any
historical fact to ask grandpapa about
IT than to look it up in any history or
encyclopedia. But now when he was
asked to give temperance instruction
he said he didn't know nearly as much
Of the scientific side Of the subject as
is known nowadays, but n the boys
were tired of study he would try To
make the lesson, which they found
rather dry, more Interesting by little
reminiscence.
You know" he said, that ! was

never dosed more than he could help,
though he had 70 give strong physic
sometimes to satisfy his patients. He
was great temperance man, and he
had good reason for being So for no
man had seen more of the evils of in
temperance.
