Yes, August Flower still has the

civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill

they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow

fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the

not stoop far enough to tie my shoes.
When 1 was obliged to pick up any

on my knees to avoid the sharp shoot
ing pains through my Kidneys.
There was dull, heavy pain in my
back and also weakness of the kidneys

of an imaginary square, and each was
shooting at the man catacOrner to him
Being in what he supposed a safe posi-

That reused his wrath, and, drawing

Another bullet flying wide from its
