I am deaf ea a poet. Lost ID pound a. JuC take your choice. An attack of Fever at this time of year, with Quinine aa 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 vour estate. If you I used Johann's Tonic hours. Took It every three hours. New felt better la my life. Did not lose ounce In weight. Cun anything. ore a poor man. your time is worth much more to your family. The rich man might lietter afford to suffer a loss of f100.00 a day, aa a result from en forced absence from business than the poor man can looe the value of his labor. Both men-nch or poor-are stupid to lose 10 days when 34 to 48 hours is the limit of time required to put them in good condition Ire Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic. I always feel Sony 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 it to every thinking man in this country. First of ail, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir cumstances. Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 80 minutes after its administration, it enters the blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria. It has a wonderful reoord of 17 years of success. 999 cases out of every 1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can bs easily cured Ire 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 Anally with all the life and vim taken out of you, or use Johnson’s Tonio and be restored at once to perfect health. No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take you* choice A. a GIRARDEAU. Savannah, Go. Where De Yon Buy ?

N. Y * COAST OF CUBA IS INFESTEDBY PljIATES Chief Offenders Are From the Neighboring Islands. REVENUE 8ERVICE INADEQUATE 8lnce the Evacuation of the Island by the United 8tates Forces Piracy ana Smuggling Have Increased to an Alarming Extent New York, June 18.—The non-arrivaf of the United States consnl general to Havana and the consuls appointed to Matanzas, Clenfuegos and Santiago has resulted in seriously crippling com. merce with tbe United States, says Herald dispatch from Havana. Since tbe evacuation of tbe Island by tbe United States forces piracy and smuggling along tbe Cuban coast bave Increased enormously. Tbe col lectors of half a dozen ports are con stantly requesting tbe assistance of revenue cutters. Tbe chief offenders are smacks from Jamaica, Nassau and Barbadoes. There are only two cut ters available to guard 2,000 miles of coast line. Four others, owned by tbo government, are at present out of com mission. Six smacks, which were violating tbe turtle flshery laws, have been captur ed. Many others are under surveil lance and probably will be captured on the arrival of assistance. Several Instances are reported of actual pi racy. Many Cuban smacks bave been over- hauled and robbed of catches or flsb, provisions, water, etc., by foreigners, who eventually are under tbe impres sion that the withdrawal of the Amerl. cans left tbe Cubans an easy prey. It Is probable that examples will bs made of the captured, which undoubt edly will be salutary. It hSB been suggested by custom of ficials that tbe cutter service be abol ished as a means of economizing, but the revelations of tbe last 48 hours have demonstrated the absolute neces. sity of continuing tbe service, if not of Increasing It.
