Juii 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
unliappiness 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 ore a rich man

your estate. If you

are a jsuir man. your time is worth much more to your family. The rich
man nngl t lietter afford to suffer a loss of *100.00 a day, as a result from en
forced absence from business than the poor man can lose the value of his labor.
Both men—rich or poor—are stupid 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 cardinnl points that should immediately commend
it to every thinking man in this country.
First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless tinder all cir
cumstances.
Second, it is quick; it acts at once.. In SO minutes after its administration,
it enters the blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria.
It has a wonderful record of 17 years of success. 999 cases out of every
1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can be easily cured by doubling
the dose and taking it a little oftener.
Johnson's Tonic is n wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise,
is superb. No remedy in the whole domafn of Materia Medics 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,
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 Anally 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

New York, March 26.—Advices re
cclved from Maracaibo and Curarac

activity on the part of the Venezuelan
revolutionists to depose President C'ip-
riaao Castro.
The entire eastern part of the covr.-
try, according to The Tribune’s In
formant, Is now in arms against the
government, and General Domingo
Monagas, who bas assumed a leading
part In the Insurrectionary army
writes that he 1b certain that in an

rious and a change of government will
take place at Caracas.
The forces of General Monagas now
besiege Barcelona, In the state of Ber
mudez, which is his native town, and
where he Is well known. His army
has been greatly augmented since he
began operations In that district. The
plan of this Insurgent chief Is to cap
ture and hold Guanta, where there are
some large coal mines, which, if he

plies for the filibustering steamer Boli
var.
General Monagas Is well known In
this city. His son, Antonio, who was
secretary of Venezuelan consulate In
this city, Is a colonel on his staff.
General Monagas has fought in many
insurrections, and It Is said of him
that be has never been captured.
OVERSTUDY SHATTERED MIND.
Thirst for Knowledge Proves Disas
trous to Chemist 8chultze.
New York, March 26.—Overstudy Is
believed by the physicians to have
shattered the mind of William Schult-
se, chief chemist gf the General Chem
ical company, of Jersey City, Passaic
and Bayonne. The physicians ordered
his removal from his home to a sani
tarium.
Schultze la 35 years old and unmar
ried. He came to this country from
Berlin four years ago, starting as
clerk In the Bayonne plant. He was
advanced step by step. /His knowl
edge of chemistry came to bim by
hard study. All his spare time was
spent over his books. At night when
he returned home from the works he
would lock himself In his room and
seek the knowledge he so much de
sired. Daylight would find him still
poring over the volumes.
A few hours' sleep sepmed to satisfy
him. The strain, however, was so
great that his mind gave way.
Meat Comes High In Gotham.
New York, March 26.—PrlceB of
fresh meats are rising rapidly here,
and although the retailers have not
advanced their prices as the wholesale
dealers have, they will do so within
the next few days. Every spring the
prices of meats go up, but this year
the prices are higher than for many
years past. Large demands for export
are said to have caused the advance.

Washington, March 25.—May 20.
1902, is the new date fixed for turning
over the island of Cuba to Its people.
The change of date was made. If nut
at the suggestion then with the full
approval of President-elect Palma and
bis advisors, Senors Tamaya add Que
soda, who were With him at'the war
department today. Thl* date estab
lished a memorable one In Cuban his
tory, for It will not only mark the ac
quisition of full Independence, but will
be the Cuban Inauguration day. It hav
ing been determined that President
Palma should be inaugurated on the
tame day that American control of the
island ceases.
All but the smallest details of the
change In Cuba have been planned,
and these remaining details were un
der adjustment at a meeting held at
the war department today. Besides
Secretary Root. President Palma and
Senors Tamaya and Quesada, General
Wood attended. The meeting occur
red In the secretary's office. Besides
the final selection of May 20 as Cu
ban Independence day, two other Im
portant conclusions‘were reached. The
first was that General Wood should
Immediately upon his return to Cuba
issue a call convening tbe flrit Cuban
congress In session on May 10 in order
that that body might employ tbe ten
days following that date In supplying
any legislation necessary to the as
sumption of full powers In the islands.
The other conclusion was that there,
should be no halfrw-ay evacuation of
the Island. The present disposition Is
to move the entire United States con
tingent, civil and military, away from
tne islands, not leaving a corporal's
guard of United States soldiers in any
of the camps. If this program Is not
executed It will bo for the sole renson
that the Cubans themselves, throu’h
thelf authorized officials, request that
the departure of the United Stutea
troops be delayed for a time.
