Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine in the civil
lized wolld. 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 o few doses of Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with You. For sale by A. S.

QUARANTINE AND COURTS
MATTER BEFORE UNITED STATES
TRIBUNAL.
Testing the Right of the San Francisco
Board of Health to Quarantine China
town-An Important Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-The le-
gality of the board of health uuaran-
tine of Chinatown is being tested in the
United States court. A Chinese named
Jew Ho has asked the court for an in
junction restraining the board of health
from quarantining his building, 926
Stockton street, though it is within the
quarantine district.
The petition for an injunction is based
on wide range of allegations, among
them being that there has been no bu-
bonic plague in San Francisco: thar
there is no evidence that the premises
involved or the persons living in them
have been or are infected; that the
quarantine is not uniform and indis-
criminate as to whom it involves, but
discriminates against the Chinese and
that some houses within the quarantin-
ed district are quarantined and others
are not, and that some persons are al
lowed to go in and out of the quaran-
tine lines, and others are not
The petitioner is represented by such
an array of eminent counsel as suggests
that his is being made a test case. The
hearing is before Judge de Haven. and
decision will probably not be rendered
before tomorrow.
1t is thought by many that the decis-
ion in this case may have an important
bearing upon the whole subject of the
right of boards of health to quarantine
whole districts, and to deprive without
the process of the courts at least, per-
sons of their liberty.
The newspapers keep up their un-
friendly attitude toward the board of
health.
