"I have been afflicted withbilious'
nessand constipation for fifteen yeara
nnd first one and then another prep
aration was suggested to me and
tried, but to iio purpose. A friend
recommended August Flower and
words cannot describe the admira
tion in which I hold it. It has given
me a new lease of life, which before
was a burden. Its good qualities
and wonderful merits should be made
known to everyone suffering with
