QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the civil
lied 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, Nervous
Prostration 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 nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is al!
they took when feeling dull and bad
With headaches and other aches. You

you satisfied there is nothing serious

The managers in their report say:
Little change has taken place during
the wear in the board of managers OF
the Iufil mary, which has held its meet
ings regularly and kept the work going
on % usual. One notable one, how
ever, has taken place. For the hrst
time in it's history the honored and be-
loved name OF Johns is missing among
its members. After the death OF Mrs.
Kiusey Johns, her daughter, Miss Nina
Johns, filled her place in the board un-
nj her removal to Norfolk made 1t nee
essarv for her to resign, much to our re-
eret. Mrs. w. B. Smoot was elects d to
ill the vacancy and met with warm
welcome from the board.
The duties of the matron, combining
with these those of head nurse and
trainer OF pnpil nurses, had. with in-
creasing number of patients, become 90
onerous that she requested the Doaro 70
allow her an assistant. This vas grant
| ed and Miss Crittenden, who had at one
lime been matron Of the institution for
several months, and for some years one
of its staff of nurses, was offered the po,
! si,ion and accepted 1t, and is q faithful
and efficient helper to the matron. sue
also has entire charge in the absence o.
the matrOp.
The managers received . communi-
cation from the staff, suggesting that
change be made in the time and man.

should provide a resident physician
After due consid sration on the part o.
the managers. the change proposed dlo
