The sickest man is not always in bed. The meanest kind
of sickness is just to be able to attend to one’s duties. With
rich blood in your veins you perform, with pleasure, the work
that becomes an arduous task for half well people.
Why don’t you take JOHNSON’S TONIC? It is the
World’s Greatest Medicine. The dealer makes less money on
JOHNSON’S TONIC than on any other kind. Now remember
that your health is your business and making money is his
business.
It would pay you better to drive twenty-five miles to get a
bottle ot JOHNSON’S TONIC rather than use the cheap kind
that pays more profit to the dealer.
Money-making and Life-saving don’t run very close togeth

taken from the jail and swung from the'

quietly that no other citizens, save the
jailer and two or three others, kuew <Jf
it for several hours afterward.
The mob went to the jail about 1:80
o'clock this morning and demanded the
keys of the jailer, but he refused to sur
render them. The doors of the jail
were theu battered down. The prison
ers were removed almost before they
had time to realize wnac was happen
ing. The members of the mob quickly
dispersed without their identity becom
ing known.

night. Sept. 21, in a path leading from
the house of Annie fields, the mother
of Jimbo Fields, in a negro settlement

almost perfect.

phoid and dysentery for the most part.
The latter it tho worst. A littlo bnbonio
