Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of arY medicinein tbe'civi-
lized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart Failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean ont the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action OF the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organ
ic action Of The system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need q few doses of Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied tilerei is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by A. S.

1t would go q long way towards max
ing o gentleman in his mature years II
the teacher when the child is young
would be careful to implant and cult
gate ideas of courtesy and habits OF
%noliteness. Thousands of our children
are now attending school in this parish
and now ia the time to begin, in n prop
er manner, to make the gentleman or
lady. VIZ do not know it it is necessa-
ry to give actual instruction, bnt it the
teacher will be polite in the school room
the pupils will feel the necessity to be-
come so themselves.
Distinguished men have been known
to administer lessons in politeness that
have been lasting. 1t is q well remem-
bered fact that Gen. Lee was in q car
seated at the further end of the door.
The other seats were filed with officers
and soldiers. An old woman, poorly
dressed, entered at one of the stations
and finding no seat, and N offered,
approached the end where the General
was seated. He Immediately arose and
gave her his seat. Instantly there was
a general rising. eaci, Offering his seat
to the General. He-calmly said: "No gen.
tlemen, if there was not u scat for the in
firm old woman, there a be none for
me-" The effect was electrical, and had
those men in their tender years been
taught politeness, there would have
been no rebuke.
