ANXIOUS to anticipate the action Of the

the shrewdest aud most influential meni'
bers of the gold standard wing OF tho
party" 1t is known that he held secret
conference with former Senator German
and it was after this consultation that MI.
Bryan impressed upon his friends the I'M

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine In the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration, 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 action of the ner-
vous and organic system. and that Is
all they took when feeling dull and bad
with headache and other aches. You
