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 har’d work
and anxiety for tliose
who love you.
Tliis is putting it in its
very happiest asjiect. It
might mean your death,
and it often means a
breakdown in general
health from which some
recujierate very slowly.

lie limit of time required to put them ill good condition by Johnson's Chill and
l ever Ionic.
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 m romc has 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-
cumstauces.
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. 990 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 Medira 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 vou. 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 he restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take your
choice t

The first news of tho renewed Ill
ness of the king came from the house
of commons, where various court offi
cials gave an Intimation that the ar
rangements for Thursday would better
be suspended forthwith, as the corona,
tlon would be postponed Indefinitely
on account of the Indisposition of his
majesty.
Causes Great Consternation.
The sudden announcement of the
postponement of the coronation, just
on the eve of the ceremony, caused
the utmost consternation everywhere.
Tho^news spread like wildfire. The
tens of thousands of occupants of the
streets suddenly stood still under the
sudden shock and gazed at one an
other in silent dread of what mlgat
come next.
On Saturday and Sunday, society
was discussing the reports ot the
king’s Illness, and though the clrcum*
stanclallty, detail and sources from
which they came precluded entire dis
belief, there was a disposition to
doubt the stories, and when the posi
tive categorical denial was officially
issued, they were dismissed as being
unfounded.
Hemorrolds, apoplexy and lumbago
were a few of the king’s maladies dis
cussed In the clubs and drawingrooms,
and those discussing them recalled tho
stories of the king even recently re
iterated hts belief that he would never
be crowned.
On the stock exchange the effect of
the startling news was Immediate.
Prices weakened, led by consols, by a
fall of H a point.
It Is privately admitted that his
majesty’s condition is more serious
than represented by the medical bul
letin,
His majesty, under ordnlary condi
tions, was not looked upon as a goo I
subject for operations, and though the
king" passed successfully through the
ordeal, It is believed that four weeks
must elapse before he will be.able to
undergo the arduous labors of the cor-
onatlon ceremonial. Therefore no dale
can yet be indicated for carrying out
the coronation.
Official Announcement Made.
Official announcements of the klng 1
serious Illness were made to public
bodies as speedily as possible.-)- Word

will be likewise postponed, but It Is
the king’s earnest hope that the cele
brations In the country shall be held
as already arranged.”
The king’ also expressed to the lord
mayor his desire that his majesty's
dinner to the poor of London be not
postponed. .
Nothing hns yet been decided re
garding tho movements of the foreign
guests. . The first intimation which
Whltclaw, Reid, the special ambassa
dor cf the United States to the coro
nation, heard that anything was
wrong was contained In a qommunlca-
tlon cancelling t£e state banquet
which was to be held at Rue'.Ingham
palaro.
Outside of Bucklnghaiit palace enor-.
mous Huongs of people congregated
slneo early morning for the purpose
of witnessing the arrival of the spe
cial ambassadors v.ho wero to bo re
ceived by the king and queen today.
Largo numbers of foreign represen
tatives actually arrived, but the short
ness of their stay was noted. Inquiries
were made and neon the news of his
majesty’s serious slate of health was
circulated among the awaiting thou
sands.
At the various palaces and hotels,
where the foreign representatives aro
staying, the news created the greatest
dismay, •
Royal carriages were already drawn
up In readiness to take the guests to
the reception at the palace, but the
moment the "tickers” announced his
majesty's Illness, all the preparations
for the day ceased. ,
Traffic Paralyzed.
On the streets the change which
came over the crowds was most pro-
nounced. Traffic seemed paralyzed and
It was long before the full effect of tho
startling intelligence was felt.
The streets, as the day wore on, be
came more and more congested, anl
the holiday crowd concentrated Into
groups reading and re-reading the ex
tras. Most of the people seem'Ingiy
felt dazed, and scarcely appreciated
the full Import of what they read.
Work on the stands erected on all
sides to enable people to view the

discontinued.

DR. CYRU8 ED80N TALK8.
Explains Nature of King's Illness and
the Operation.
New York, June 24.—Dr. Cyrus E.I-
son explained tho king’s Illness and
the operation as follows:
"Perltyphlytls Is Inflammation Includ
ing the formation of an abscess of the
tissues around the vermiform appendix
and hence perltyphlytls Is hard to dls-
tlnguish at once from appendicitis.
Usually an operation Is necessary to
ascertain whether the appendix or the
surrounding ttssuo Is diseased. In tho
king's case there Is probably an ab
scess at tho head of the large Intestine,
where the appendix begins, and the op
eration today was an Immediate 'ne
cessity because tho abscess had to be
gotten at and emptied of Its contents
and pus. Under ordinary circum
stances the king ought to recover In
three or four weeks, but after recovery
It would, perhaps, be four weeks more
before he would be able to perform his
part In the coronation ceremony.
“The king’s trouble Is In his right
side low down.”
Washington Is Notified.

SHOOTING AT JENNINGS, FLA.
Robert Alderman Probably Fatally
, v Wounded by a Negro,
Jacksonville, Fla., June 23.—News
was received here of the shooting ot
Robert Alderman, a white man, at
Jennings, Fla., by a negro named Jim
Hood. The shooting occurred In the
henrt of that town. Hood escaped to
the woods after the shooting and has
not been seen since, though a posse of
white people are scouring the woods
for him. .The ball entered Alderman's
stomach and produced a wound that
will probably prove fatal. A telegram
was sent to Valdosta asking for track
hounds to trace the murderer, but
there are none available, so the pur
suit of the negro had to be carried on
without the dogs.
It Is said that there is much indig
