legislation, not to oppose everything
Lanham said the United States occupied
such a fiduciary and confidential relation
towards the Cubans that the utmost en-
deavors should be used to secure abso-
Lutte faith and the fullest integrity In our
relations with Cuba.
Williams of Mississippi said the incon-

officers to herself was the natural out

De Almond moved to recommit the bill.

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 Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system, and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nerves and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's An
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. For sale by deal
ers in all civilized countries.
