but killed his friend and companion in
stead, the bullet penetrating the left

carry enough grub to feed these burly

Yes August Flower still has the larg-

world. 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 Nerv-
GUS Prostitution or Heart-failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of
undigested food. regulate 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.
