dread of the engineer was the

Many things are recommended for Fever, but noth
ing else can cure a deep-seated attack of Grippe, but
Johnson’s Tonic.
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. B. G. BENTON.
