fault of the husband, but how often Is Il
not due to the wife's nervousness and irri-
liability due to some trouble with the or

such circumstances feels languid aud spif-

TIL is has been a summer of catastro-

ly arrives at place where the results
of the General Slocum fire are realized,
when from the west comes the report
of -the..wreck o. VOLTS Fair flyer
loaded with human freight. A raging
stream tore out a trestle and the
ponderous train plunged into the abyss
strewing the creek with the bodies of
the victims. The crowded cars drop
ped thirty feet and the unfortunate
passengers happy in the anticipation of
pleasures to be enjoyed at the great
exposition, held no thought of the i'm
pending danger until suddenly the train
crashed through the bridge. Already
four score of the dead, drowned while
entangled in the debris. have been re-
covered. Late particulars show that
the wreck will prove to be one Of the
greatest railroad disasters in the his
tory of the country. Railroad com
psnies in some way must be made tc
realize that more thorough inspection
of bridges and tracks must be made
when rainy weather in prolonged
stretches endangers the safety of pas
sengers. The ones actually responsible
for tine wreck may never be pointe'
out, but there is no doubt room fo
blame against the employees who woul'
send train out over track which wa
in such condition that the men upo
the engine feared to go ahead on accoun
of the threatened washouts and stoo
upon the gang way holding torch il

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 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 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 a
dose Of Green's August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can get this
