Questions Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmother 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 Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation Of indigo sted food, regulate
the action Of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the sys-
TEN, and that Is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and ache. You only need a few doses
of Green's August Flower, In liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.
