QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale OF any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmoth
ers' never thought OF using anything else
for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors
we're scarce. and they seldom heard Of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or
Heart fiilure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation OF undigested food,
regulate the action OF the live-, stimulate
the ner 5ous and organic action OF the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
OF Green's August Flower, in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. Foo sale
