Good Advice.

The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dyspep-

seventy-five per cent of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects;
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitual costiveness, palpitation of the
heart, heartburn, waterbrash, gnaw-
ing and burning pains at the pit of the
stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue
and disagreeable taste in the mouth,
coming up of food after eating, low
spirits, etc. Go to your druggist and
get bottle of August Flower for rs
cents. Two doses will relieve you.
Try it. Get Green's Prize Almanac.
