It will drive out every trace and taint of Grip poison from the system and do its work quick and do it ri^ht. In support of our claim we refer with pleas ure to the letter appended to this Irom a well known citizen of your County. Drop a j>ostal card and we will send a trial bottle containing four doses of the best medicine made. THE JOHNSON’S CHILL & FEVER TONIC C0„ SAVANNAH. -• - GEORGIA. Walterboro S. C,, October 9, 1908. On August 30, ’08, 1 Contracted cold and developed Grippe and was laid up fiive weeks. My bronchial tubes were badly af fected, which caused me to cough continually and prevented my sleeping at night. I tried all the old remedies which usually gave me relief but failed. Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic was recommended to me as a guaranteed cure for grippe and colds and I was pursuaded to try it. After taking it according to directions for one week, I found myself entirely cured of my cold and grippe, and my sys tem in first-class condition. 1 regard it as one of the best medi cines I have ever used ir my family and can cheerfully recom mend it to anyone suffering from a like trouble or general debilitated system.
