warm days and vegetation made rapid

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 OF 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 undigested food. regulate
the action Of the liver. stimulate the nervou.
and organic action OF the system, and that 4,
all they took when feeling dull and bad witt
headaches and other aches. You only need 1
