AMERICUS TIMES-

AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1901.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
Just take your choice.
An attack of Fever at
this time of year, with
Quinine as the treat
ment. means a week or
ten days lost from Busi-
It means ten days of
unltamtiness for you and
ten days of hard worjc
and anxiety for those
who love you.
This is putting it in its
very happiest asj>ect. It
might mean your death,
and it often means a
breakdown in general
health from whit *
some
recuperate very slowly.
If you are a rich man
your time is worth much
'our estate. If you
I used Johnson'* Tonic 24
hours. Took it every three
hours. Never felt better in
my life. Did not lose an
■> in weight. Can eat
anything.
iu Vou* cMiuo. n you
a ,,oor man, your time in worth much more to your family. The rich
man might better afford to suiter a loss of $100.00 a day, as a result from en-
l I pjpsence from business than the ]>oor man ran lose the value of his labor.
10 ii<,th men—rich or poor—are stupid to lose 10 days when 24 to 48 hours is
the limit of time required to put them iu good condition by Johnson's Chill and
6 'Talways feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting
themselves'to the Quinine treatment. .
The process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing.
Johnson's Tonic has two cardinal points that should immediately commend
it tu'everv thinking man in tin's country. .
first of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cu*
cuuManiej - ^ at . (s at once . j n 30 minutes after its administration,
it enters the blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria.
It lues a wonderful record of 17 years of success. U9i> cases out of every
1001! are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can be easily cured by doubling
the 'lose and taking it a little oftener.
Johnson's Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It
is suiierli No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Medica is more positiva
in it< action and unfailing in its results. .... *.
It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of leva*. Xj
will cure any type of fever.
It is the one great medicine ttiat seldom disappoints.
Don't trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to
hurn-it will consume you. Use Johnson's Tonic. Use nothing else.
Vow, take your choice, hie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison
vcur ligestion with Quinine, anil arise finally with all the life and vim taken
out of vou or use Johnson’s Tonic and be restored at once to perfect health.
\\, loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. TakajOllI

CAMPAIGN ON IN EARNEST.
Fight Over Alabama Constitution
Will Be a Hard One.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 9. —The cam*
paign involving the adoption of the pro*
posed constitution for Alabama will
open this week in earnest, and it prom
ises to be a very spicy one. The elec
tion which will determine the issue is
almost two months away and, if the
rival campaign committees keep up the
pace they have started, a world of ora
tory, energy and interest will be ex
pended by both sides.
The headquarters for both of tho cam
paigns have been located here. Hon.
Oscar W. Underwood, member of con
gress from this district, is managing the
campaign for ratification, whilo General
Charles M. Shelley, former congress
man from the old Fourth district, is
leading tho fight against the movement.
They are two of the most adroit politi
cal generals iu tho stato and effective
organizatinu*ou both sides is assured.
Both factions appear to have gone into
the campaign with implicit confidence
of success. .
General .Shelley's strongest ally is
former Governor Johnston of this city.
Tnere is a very large Democratic fol
lowing behind Messrs. Shelley and John
ston, ami any serious thinker on the
subject of Alabama politics is talking
idly when he belittles their strength.
Very few Democrats are found who
are entirely satisfied with thq new con
stitution, and especially with tho suf
frage provisions, but the conviction that
it i9 an improvement on the old consti
tution appears to be growing rapidly,
especially in the white counties, and i«
would undoubtedly be a safer bet now
that tho new constitution would be rati-
fled than it would not bo.

••The president it a soldier and a gen

under these circumstances for a Demo
