NUMBER 6 TAKE YOUR CHOICE T ii.'hI Quinine for 10 days. 1 am free of fever but leel utterly wretched. I nut ilenf us a post, host 10 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 ness. It means ten days of *| unhappiness for you and ten days of hard work and anxiety for those who love you. This is putting it in its very happiest aspect. It might mean your death, and it often means a breakdown in general health from which some recuperate very slowly. If you are a rich man your time is worth much to your estate. If you NO FINISH OF FIGHT IS YET IN SIGHT. I used Johnson's Tonic 24 hours. Took it every three : hours. Never felt better in my life. Did not lose an ounce in weight. Cun eat anything. are n poor man. your time is worth much more to your family. The rich man might lietter uilord to suffer a loss of $100.00 a dnv, as n result from en forced absence from business than the poor man can lose the value of his labor. Both men—rich or poor—are ttupid to lose 10 days when 24 to 48 hours is the limit of time required to put them in good condition by Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic I always 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 i: to every thinking man in this country. First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir cumstances. Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 110 minutes after its administration, it enters (he blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria. It has a wonderful record of 17 years of success. 91)9 cases out of every 1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case con be easily cured by doubling t be dose and taking it a little oftener. Johnson's Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It is superb. No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Jfedica is more positive in its action and unfailing in its results. It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of Fever. It will cure any type of fever. It is the one great medicine that seldom disappoints. Don't trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to burn—it will consume you. Use Johnson's Tonic. Use nothing else. Now, take your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison your digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and vim taken out of you, or use Johnson’s Tonic and be restored at once to perfect health. No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take your choice A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Go. Better Prepared Than Ever -TO SUPPLY YOU WITH- DRY GOODS, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Bow Between Police Board and City Council. PROBABLY FAR FROM A FINISH. PURSE OF A PARSON IS TAKEN BY THIEF. Visiting Kinders Are Robbed in Atlanta Expected Decision ot Supreme Conrt May Not End It—Caee May Take Political Turn In the Election Mem bers of the Legislature. The recent election of policemen >y the Police Commission revives inter est in the legal straggle now on be tween the police board and the' city council for. aupremacy in the control of the police department. The next stage in the proceedings is the de cision of the Supreme Court. Thir, quite possibly, msy be render ed within a week or two. The city council, as is well known, appealed to the Supreme Court from the decision of Judge 55. A. Littlejohn here, restraining that body from inter fering witn the police department. The opin ion is expressed m some quarters here that whatever this de cision may be it will not end the fight between the council and police board. One or the other will doubtless take other steps to farther its ends, and the strife, quite possibly, msy continue on indefinitely. At a later stage of the proceedings it will get into politics. No doubt it will be an issne in the next city election, while there is s likelihood, it is said, of its being an issue in the election of members of the legislature from Snmter with the end of securing or defeating amendments of the city charter. The row ia a long way from a finish. Eat in the meanwhile all interest is centered npon tbe decision of the Su preme Conrt in tbe pending injunc tion proceedings.
