Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
ized world. 1'onr mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing 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 Btop fermentation of undl
geeted food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organic
action of tbe system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only
need a few doses of Green'B August
Flower, in, liquid form, to make you
satisfied there Is nothing serious the
matter with you. For Bale by Dr, Don
nelly, Ryan, Iowa.
