twkktv-foubth TEAII, AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1902. NUMBER 7 TAKE YOUR CHOICE I npod Quinine Tor 10 dftjm. 1 ain fie® of fever hut feel utterly wretched. I am ilenf UK a post. Lost 10 pound*. 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 ours. Took it ever, threo | 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 MONT PELEE AGAIN OBJECT OF TERROR Feared That Martinique May Sink Into the Sea, PEOPLE ARE PANIC 8TRICKEN Unusual Agitation of the Waters Sur rounding Island—Hundreds Again 8eeking Passage to Other Ports. Have Appealed to Authorities. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Go. 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. „ W. 0.
