In Brief, and to The Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things iu existence. It is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, bloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and nany
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a na
tion of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that tbey
can enjoy their meals and be hapny.
Remember: No happiness without
health. Bnt Green's August Flower
bnngR health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.

X Had Hct to Lose.
X rather sinjjnlar bet was made in
this city on Friday niRht, previous to
tho election of Saturday. No money
was wagered, but it was agreed that
the winner should bo privileged at
any timo within four weeks to call up
the loser at any time, night or day,
and in any place, and proclaim in a
loud tone, "I own this man. He dare
not deny it I possess a secret abont
his life that puts him completely in
my power. He date not refuse to do
anything I tell him. To prove my
assertion I will order him to treat
every one within the sound of my voice
to champagne." Imagine tho sit
uation should this bo sprung upon
the unfortnuato loser in a crowded
cafe, or at a busiuess meeting, or at a
banquet. It was mutually agreed
that no odds how offensive tho tone
or matter might be, the loser dare not
resent it. Tho manner in which the
gentleman got on tho wrong side of
the fence in avoiding the other on the
street and in crowded places is amus
ing, to say the least Ho will live in
dread until the four weeks expire.
