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 bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentstion of undigested food, regu-
late 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 head
aches and other aches. You only
need few doses OF Green's August

satisfied there IS nothing serious the
