TAKE YOUR CHOICE

Juil 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
S ued Johnaon's Tonic SI

| anythin;:.
to your estate. If you
are a poor man, ypur time is worth much more'to your family. The rich
man might better afford to suffer a loss of $100.00 a day, as a result from en
forced absence froui 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 t line required to put them in good Condition by Johnson’s Chill and
Fever Tonic. ,
I alwayB feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting
theuiselves-to the Quinine treatment.
Tite process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing.
Johnson’s Tonic has two cardinal points that should immediately commend
it to every thinking man in this country.
First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmle*» 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. 989 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 a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It
is superb. No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Medica 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

Young Men’s Clothes.
foung men are apt to be very par
ticular about their clothes; even a
little fussy: cranky.
It’s all right; a good appearance
means a lot to a young fellow some
times; may even be his chief asset;
it pays to look well
We make a specialty of young
men’s clothes; styles that! have snap
and “go” in them; the ultra-fashions
sought for by thousands of young
men who cannot or will not pay the
exclusive * tailor’s prices, and are
smart enough to see that Hart
Schaffner & Marx clothes are best.
Go to almost any college town
where young men gather; where
they are their own severest clothes-
critics; you’ll find Hart Schaffner &
Marx “Varsity” and other young
men’s styles the ruling favorites. A
better test of clothes-popularity is
impossible.
Good dressers everywhere wear these
goods; they’re as good clothes as they
look. The label H. 5. & M. is a sign of
genuineness. A small thing to look for,
a big thing to find. We sell them ex
clusively. „

otherwise he expected to meet the
train at the depot. The passenger
train, however, was exactly on time.
There Is no other cause except that
given by Engineer Galley to which the
