This is the query per- What le petually on your littie 11boy's lips. And lie is It For? no worse than the big- ger, older, balder-head- ed.boys., Life is an interrogation, pon. " What is it for?". we con- Einually cry from the cradie to the grave. So with this littie introduc- tory sermon we turn and ask: "What Is AuGUST ]FIOWeR FOR ?" As easily answered as asked : It is for ]Dys- pepsia. It is a special remedy for the Stomach and Liîver. Kothing more than this; but this briniful. We believe August Ftlower cures Dyspepsia. We know it will. We have reasons for knowing it, Iwenty years ago it started in a sniail country town. To-day it has an honored place ini every city and country store, possesses one of the largest manu- facturing plants in the country and seils everywhere. Why is this ?The reason is as simple as a child's thought., It is honest, does one thing, and does it rigit along-it cures Dyspepsia. @ G. G. GiREEN, Sole Man'frWoodburyN.J.
