Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower 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 were scarce, and they seldom
heard of appendicitis, nervous prostra-
ton 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
