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 or Bill
iousneSS. Doctors were scarce. and
they seldom heard Of Appendicitis,
Nervous ProStrations or Heart fail
ure, etc. They used August Flower
to clean out the system and stop
fermentation 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. You can get this reliable
remedy at all drug stores. Price %
