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 Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate 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 headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied

his sphere of usefulness. He spoke of
the educational advantages of mutual
interchange of ideas and sentiments,
and on the other hand pointed out the
evils the merchant had to contend
with and ought to contend against in
the encroachment of laws designed in
the interest of the big dealer to crush
out the middle man or retailer. He
scored the itinerant merchant and out
lined the duty of city councils to regu-
late the same. Mr.. Schele r told of the
extensive influence to be brought on
the legislature to enact lawsto uphold
the retail merchant. He deprecated
the idea Of cheap excursions TO large
mercantile centers, as they invariably
operated disastrously TO the local deal
er. He believed in uphelding the
standard of quality of wares, as cheap
wares meant cheap merchants and
eventually cheaper labor. He i'm
pressed upon the merchants the duty
Uf helping each other, thus helping
themselves, and by doing so would
help the community in general.
