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 Indi-
gestion or Biliousness. Doctors we're
scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Fail
ure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton of undigested food, regulate the ac-
ton 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 sat
isfied there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Get Green's Prize Almanac.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR
something New under the sun.'

All Doctors have tried to cure Ca
TARRH by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous mem
branes causing them to crack open and
bleed. The powerful acids used in the
inhalers have entirely eaten away the
same membranes that their makers
have aimed to cure, while pastes and
ointments cannot reach the disease. An
old and experienced practitioner who has
for many wears made close study and
speciality of the treatment of CATARRH,
has at last perfected a Treatment when
when faithfully used, not only relieves at
once, but permanently cures CATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the dls-
charges, and curing all inflammation.

that actually reaches the afflicted parts.

WILMINGTON MUNICIPAL ELECTION

The biennial municipal election of VIII
mington, Saturday, resulted in the elec
ton of Republican mayor, presiden
of Council, city treasurer, city solicitor
assessor and collector in the Northern dis
trict, and five of the twelve councilmer
cho. Ell.
The new officials are:
Mayor-George M. Fisher, Republican
President of Council-Charles II
Blaine, Republican.
City Treasurer-Seth III. Feaster, Re.
publican.
City Solicitor-David J. Reinhardt, Re
publican.

Ninth Ward-Prince A. Mousley, Dem
ocrat.
Tenth Ward-Joshey E. McCafferty,
Democrat.
Eleventh Ward-Henry R. Smith,
Democrat.
Twelfth Ward-Charles NJ. Zebley,
Democrat.
The election of the head of the Repub-
lican ticket did not come as surprise to
the Republicans but that Council was
lost to the Democrats was exceedingly
disappointing. Prospects for complete
control of the city government were
bright on Saturday, and had not Repub-
lican managers in the Twelfth ward
been confronted with political perfdy on
the part of sixty-fve negro voters there,
the ward would have elected Moro McMil-
Ian, the Republican councilmanic candi
date, and thereby made Council Repub-
lican body by one majority.
The election demonstrated beyond a
doubt that Wilmington is Republican
city, notwithstanding the fact that she
has been governed for several years by
Democratic officials. 1t is true that the
vote polled and the maiorities given the
successful candidates are not SO large as
those that have been rolled up for sue
cessful Republican candidates heretofore,
but the figures are gratifying neverthe-
less. George NJ. Fisher, against whose
candidacy the Democrats directed their
chief efforts, was elected by majority
Of 403 votes over his opponent, ]. Harvey
Whiteman. Charles H. Blaine's majority
over William II. Alexander. Democrat,
for the presidency of Council, was APO,
the highest majority given any candidate
at the head of the Republican ticket. Mr..
Alexander was nominated for reelection,
a fact which the party voters evidently
did not take kindly to, they having given
him the smallest vote polled.
