BrAid Food Nonsense.

Another ridicuous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still all
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the, body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..
Green s reliable remedies at D. A.
Hendershot's.
