fUlRD YEAR
AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1901.
NUMBER 6
jCotter rom Sraniteville, 8. C. t
'Dated fluff. 26th, 1889.
At the age ot 50, with 25 years of active practice,
T am a careful observer and cautious in endors-
1 a nroprietary medicines, but I can conscientious-
w endorse your Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic
e 0 f the best combination remedies for Chill
nd Fever I have ever used. It corrects the vitiated
a “ etlons of the liver, relieves costiyeness, and pro-
otes the absorption and assimilation of food, thus
fulfilling all the indications claimed for it.
Yours truly,
T. P. EDWARDS, M. D.

Other Tjhings.
Other things cure Fever besides Johnson’s Chill and
Tonic, hut nothing else makes the same character
i 6 !,ire that Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic makes. It
' “ the eyes bright, the skin dear, the appetite good. It
Mfc the liver in the very best possible condition. It cures
hen nothing else will. It is 100 times better than
uinine. It has received the unqualified endorsement of the
,rv best men in this country.
a The fame of Johnson’s Tonic and the widespread popu
■ritv it enjoyed, led miserable and unscrupulous knaves in
usiness to Imitate as closely as they dared the name and
ppearance of this wonderful medicine.
Counterfeiters of money are more honorable than those
■ho would jeopardize the lives of people for gain. If you
ave fever, use nothing else but Johnson s Chill and Fever
'onic. If you are well, keep well by using Johnsons Chill
nd Fever Tonic.
