largest sale OF any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought Of using any
thing else for Indigestion and 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 or
ganic action OF the system. and that
is all they took when feeling duh and
bad with headaches and other aches.
