QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine i'll the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmotherS never thought Of
using anything else for Indigestion
or BiliOuSness. Doctors were scarce.
and they seldom heard Of Appen-
dicitiS, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart failure, etc. They used AU-
gust Flower to clean ont the sys-
TEN and stop fermentation Of I'M
digested food, regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system.
and that is all they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need
a few doses of Green's Angus

you satisfied. there is nothing ser

Carnegie and the Reporters.

One of Mr.. Carnegie's weak
spots is his fondness of newspaper
men, Victor Smith says, particu-
larly those in Pittsburg. He used
to know every one by name, and
never refused to see them and lis.
ten to their inquiries. Once there
was a great meeting in Glasgow.
about the time when Mr.. Carnegie
was coaching through Scotland
with MIR. Blaine as his guest, ard
a Pittsburg reporter happening to
be in the ''center and crown of the
shipbuilding business of the
world decided to send to his ma.
per a cable dispatch concerning
the reception of the distinguished
American. But the operator re
fused TO receive it. not knowing
the sender, and the latter appealed
to Mr. Carnegie, who Immediately
things out. The cost
Of the message was $40. and the
newspaper man learning that his
friend paid it, has sent ;s~check for
that amount to Nh. Carnegie every |
year since, only to have it returned |
