An attack of Fever at

It means ten days of
unliawiiness for you and
ten days of hard work
and anxiety for those
who love you.
This is putting it in its
very happiest as|iect. It
might mean your death,
and it often means a
breakdown in general
health from which some

Johnson s Tonic lias two cardinal points that should immediately commend
it 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 30 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
tho dose and taking it a little oftener.
