Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce , and they seldom heard of appendicitis , nervous pros tration or heart failure , etc. They used Au gust 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 Ihey took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower , in liquid form , to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Get Green's 'J'rize Almanac. A. McMillen.

Nearly everyone knows that when they are Thin there is no remedy in the world equal to ci > A liver oil to make them fleshy. Yet there is nothing against which they rebel more promptly. There were a great many ways recommended for making cod liver oil pleas ant. Among these we would mention placing n pinch of salt in the mouth before and after taking the dose of oil. Syrup of bitter orange * ; > eel was also lecommended. But now all this is unnecessary. Science has found a way of making cod liver oil not only pleasant to lake , but easy to digest. Messrs. Scott & ttowne has brought this science to perfection jn their Scott's Emulsion , which is cod liver oil free from disagreeable odor _ , and taste , and already partly digested. Only he can secure success who is willing to face failure. Does It Pay to Buy Cheap ? A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right , hut you want something that will relieve and cure ilie more severe and dangerous re sults of throat and lung troubles. What shall you do ?

" It not only heals and stimulates the tissues to des- tioy the germ disease.but allays inflammation , secures easy expectoration , gives a good night's rest , and cures the patient. Try one bottle.

McMillen. The greatest contradiction is the church that pretends to pray to God while it preys on the world. Now is the time when croup and lung troubles prove rapidly fatal. The only harm- Jess remedy that produces immediate results is One Minute Cough Cure , It is very pleas ant to take and can be relied upon to quickly cure coughs , colds and all lung diseases. It will prevent consumption. McConnell & 13erry. When Paul wrote of "lifting up holy hands" lie was not contemplating the stand and de liver style of prayer. When threatened by pneumonia or any other lung trouble , prompt relief is necessary , as it is dangerous to delay. We would suggest that One Minute Cough Cure be taken as soon as indications of having taken cold are no ticed. It cures quickly and its early use pre vents consumption. McConnell & Berry.

Just before he weut to sea for the last time he was present at a dinner , dur ing which he sat between the artist and Sir William Hamilton. Nelson was expressing to Hamilton his regret that he had not. in his youth , acquired some taste for art and some discrimination in judgiug It. "But. " said he , turning to West , "there Is one picture whose power I do feel. 1 never pass a shop where your 'Death of Wolfe' is in the window without being stopped by it. " West made some gracious answer to the compliment , and Nelson went on. "Why have you painted no more like it ? " "Because , my lord , " West replied , "there are no more subjects. " "Ah , " said the sailor. "I didn't think of that. " "But , my lord , " continued West , "I am afraid your intrepidity will yet furnish me with another such scene , and if it should I shall certainly avail myself of it. " "Will you ? " said Nelson "will you , Mr. West ? Then I hope I shall die in the next battle ! " A few days later he sailed , his strangely expressed aspiration was re alized , and the scene lives upon can vas.
