ERRORS CORRECTED.

Editor Wells Of the Lyndonville Journal
in correcting some errors in his paper
places the blame where it often belongs.
He says: In giving an account last week
of floral offerings contributed at the funeral
of F.. ID. Burns were made two or three
errors:-"New memorable hymn) should
have read NOW memorable hymns
''skillful and pathetic" should have been
finely and feelingly," and Mrs, Elizabeth
Parsons and daughter, Miss Mabel Par
sons, of Thompsonville, Conn, should
have had the credit OF contributing the
banner of chrysanthemums and rock ferns
which we spoke of promiscuously and
the American Express company should
have had the credit of contributing n ban
ner of ~ white carnations, We are sor'
ny to make mistakes, but they will occur
occasionally, especially when the copy is
not palmer than that sent us last week

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion and Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis, ner-
vous prOstratiOn 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.
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. For sale
